Move with it. Move with the prickles of anxiety of living in a new place, new transportation, new job. Move with the fear of not creating my own project yet, not being ready, what if I disappoint you? Move with the excitement of rooming with friends, of living in the city, of doing something new. Move with the research opportunity—that…

At the End of the Day
Hello readers! Hope you’re all doing well :). I am in the throws of navigating a particularly tricky doctor’s appointment in Boston: first the commuter rail was delayed, then the red line was delayed, then there was a fire at Arlington and the green line completely shut down. I love public transportation, and in the end the city got us…
Because A Smile is a Gift
Hello everyone! First off, I’d like to say that I’m very impressed you’re reading this right now… and that you should definitely be watching the Olympics! When I started writing this blog, opening ceremony was in two minutes, and I know there’s a crowd downstairs watching it live :). I’m excited to watch swimming and gymnastics especially, but I hope…
My Life: consistently too good to be true :)
Hello everyone! It’s been a fun and eventful week here—with the result being that I have LOTS of pictures :). I would worry about the lack of text, but as Monica told me this morning: when you’re submitting a paper to a journal, a picture (figure) is worth 600 words! (Yes, academic humor ;)). First things first: MONICA’S BACK! The…
Week 4 and going strong
Greetings, readers! It’s Friday evening, and we’ve finally had a break from our 90 degree weather spell! For the past three days, it’s been scorching here—though I was reminded that I am, once again, on a female-dominated campus, as sundresses imploded onto the scene. On the other hand, it’s been great to get a break from the rain; as much…
FOOD! (and research, obviously)
Hello! It’s finally bright outside, so I’m pleased. Funny how the weather plays so large a role in my life! Food as well—I have quite happily gone this whole week without making myself a single lunch :). Professor Karen Atkinson (who shall henceforth be known as Karen), has told me I’m ahead of the game: attend enough lectures, she said,…
Smell the Roses
Good evening everyone! Sorry I’m late—my schedule on Fridays is as follows: get up, go to work at 10:30-2:30pm, run to practice from 2:45-5:30pm, teach a swim lesson from 6:00-6:30pm, eat dinner, then write this blog. So either I write the blog before I go to work, or I write it after my day is over… and since college students…
Runnin’ Along
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great Friday evening. My week was busy as usual, but with little out of the ordinary. Today I went to research lab, went to track, went back to research lab group meeting, taught a swim lesson, went to dinner with some swim team members, and am now writing this blog before singing…
