And here we are again. A new year, and work goes on. This is my third year now in my MSc program. I didn't graduate in two years as I was hoping. I took about 1 month and a half of vacation where I had some fun (I shopped, joined a gym, stayed up late (watching TV, not studying) and of course worked a bit on my thesis) and I'm back to the lab.
I still have work to do in the lab (Yes, Dr. Smiley Face*. I still have work to do). This semester I'll be doing something a bit different. In addition to my "regular" electrophysiology experiments, I'll be doing ELISAs, which might add some variation and excitement to my usual lab routine.
I'll continue going to the gym, because when I joined last summer, I signed up for one year membership. I don't know whether this was a good idea, and I don't know how I'll manage it, but I'm hoping for the best. After all, one of my New Year Resolutions was to lose weight, and I have to do something to make it happen.
As for my thesis, I've written my Introduction, my Materials and Methods and I've done my figures. Having written them doesn't mean I'm done with them, for a lot of revision and editing is ahead to be done. I'm planning to finish by December MAX and defend sometime in February/March. I hope I can do it this time. I really hope so.
*a young, jolly little assistant prof who asks me every single time we meet whether I'm done yet. I know it's likely out of concern, but it does annoy me sometimes.
