Yes I am still around!

It has been a very long time since I last updated! So long that I believe the dinner below is almost a month ago! As was the mystery tube! Needless to say my holidays were very busy and a great time! I am still in the recovery phase…I managed to (only) gain 4 pounds from all the feasting over the course of three weeks, and I currently have worked off two of them. It’s so easy to pack them on, but oh so hard to get them off!

I have been finishing up my graduate school applications, Binghamton and Kent are almost finished, Buffalo, not so much. I’m just not that enthusiastic about Buffalo, so I don’t want to pay them yet. We shall see how everything goes, the last of my recommendations are coming in and I’m almost finished with my personal statement. Then I can get a good night sleep for a change!

2010 will bring a new year of adventures and mayhem and of course it started with a little New Years party at Kim’s! Up next are the Novogodny Ball, Restaurant Week, and a day in the lab on the 30th!

What is with the mystery tube?!?!

Oh...
