So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Crawling along. Tuesday, October 7, 2008 @ 7:33 am I've been trying to make an entry for the last two days, but the site has been abominably slow. It would take forever to load the create-an-entry page (and suddenly stop loading it afterwards), it did not allow me to read other blogs (either the page wouldn't load or I would get tired of waiting for it to load), and I couldn't even post on the ShoutBox (I'd type in my shout and press enter, and after a long time, the main page would not refresh, and my shout would not be posted)! It's been annoying me to no end. It's still slow for me right now, but I actually made it to the create-an-entry thing, so at least that's an improvement. I finally found the time and developed the fortitude to talk to one of my potential thesis advisors. Alright, it wasn't so much that I found the time rather than that he's teaching a two-week module in my Advanced Topics course. And it wasn't so much that I developed fortitude to talk to him in person rather than it was convenient to catch him on his way out of the classroom. Anyway, our short discussion went pretty well. He's still waiting to hear back on his grant application, so he said to check in with him at the end of the month for a definitive answer. I really want to work with him because he works on signal transduction and immunology--two things I am very interested in. If I don't get into his lab, it's not the end of the world. There are other researchers I'm going to contact as back-ups with interests ranging from the mechanisms of cardioprotection to the development of bacterial minicells to deliver cancer vaccines. One of the has GOT to have space in their lab for someone next semester... I have a feeling I was going to say something else, but 1) it's getting late and I need to get ready for school, and 2) I forgot. I guess I'm getting old. ¡Hasta la próxima! P.S. File this under "T" for "Things that bother the shit out of me": The expression is, "without further ado," NOT "without further adieu." "Ado" means like fuss or bullshit, whereas "adieu" is goodbye. Essentially, you're saying, "Alright, enough with the crap--let's get on with it." Was Shakespeare's play called Much Adieu about Nothing?! NO. IT WAS NOT. And do the French, upon their goodbyes, bid each other ado?! NO. THEY DO NOT. So please, for the love of God (Dieu, not Do), stop mixing the two (deux?) up! 2 Comments. Guess I've been slightly luckier than you, then. My entries are going through, though it tends to take a while... » randomjunk on 2008-10-07 06:41:55 Ahh.. I guess I'm also luckier than you for a bit, I could read blogs but I have a hard time commenting. I hope you'll be able to get the first guy as your thesis advisor. Working on things that you are interested in is very good. » Nuttz on 2008-10-07 11:06:11
