i passed the quals!!
praise God.

i'm officially a phd candidate.
took a while.


my brain is now saturated with science.
been hearing about science in talks and posters for the past few days.
eat sleep science.
cos its a scientific conference.
which is good, cos i feel that i'm learning.

but its also not so good, because i go on facebook and look at the photos of friends at salsa congresses, clubs, having fun, and i'm drowning in scientific info overload.
my life is just not as fun.
i guess its the path i've chosen.
no 9-5 job, with fun after that.

this phd thing is a lifestyle.
biology all the time
i love biology, and research, but sometimes i can't help but feel like i'm missing out on other more exciting things.
one can always say 'its about balance' and 'time is made'
which is true.
its just a matter of how long it takes to graduate.
