woot.

today was a little rough, but i got my presentation done, and i'm so glad it's over.
it was nice to hear some of the grad students' input on my work because it didn't turn out the way i *wanted* it to, but it does tell us something about the pheromone pathway, which they reminded me is still important. :]

my head is still hurting so bad from not eating much today [too busy and nervous] but at least i'm feeling some relief.

we had to take helix to the vet for a couple shots today, and i got to meet the coolest bird ever!
our friend nicole works there, so when i went in to meet james she came over and made me hold the bird. i was a little scared, but really there is nothing to be afraid of. and of course, now i totally want one. ha.

it's also a good day because my brother, amanda, and victoria are visiting this week. they've been in carson so far this week, but now they are on their way to reno. so i get to hang out with my niece today! i can't believe how grown up she looks in this photo. seriously. but i think it's adorable. :]

well they actually just arrived, so i'm going to go play. happy wednesday. :]
