today.

today was poster day. :]

i haven't uploaded my photos yet, but this one is from rubi. i will probably post more when i have mine.
it was actually really fun to talk about my work to other biochem professors and people from local biochem industry companies. and of course it was fun to see everyone dressed up standing by their posters knowing that we've all been working pretty hard to get to this point.

tonight i sent in the final draft of my thesis. so crazy. i have to get a bound copy to give to the honors program, but otherwise my thesis is finished. eek.

i decided to reward myself with a little shopping. my favorite scrapbook store [besides where i work] in town recently got a new owner. i'm sort of sad about it... ok really sad. i'll just miss the atmosphere. it was my favorite place to visit on a bad day. talking with mary ann while i shopped was just really nice. anyway, when i gave the new owner my name to check out, she knew who i was and had some things waiting behind the counter that mary ann told her i would want. so i got a total surprise at checkout and went home with this and this. i'm not sure that my bank account enjoyed the surprise, but i am in love. i so wish that i was feeling a little tiny bit creative tonight, but i've got nothing. sigh.

i think i'm off to bed now. feeling rather exhausted.
