Meme time! Tell me how much you luff me! Or not. :)

Nerd power

[wpl510.livejournal.com]

I believe we first met when you added me via hot nerds. Sadly, you caught me at a bad time, and I haven't spent nearly the time posting and replying in the past few months that I once could- don't think I'm not interested! (the con stuff is actually pretty neat, and although I drive a Neon, car theft still worries me too)

Still, the most memorable exchange, I believe, came when I related my tales of woe in visiting the University of Michigan, throwing up on a professor's floor, and asking her whose lab she worked in...... speaking of which, how well did you know Melanie Sanford when you worked in a lab group with her? Any messages for me to give her when I get to Ann Arbor?

*laughs* Oh dear... that experience at U of Mich was terrible. I did know Melanie reasonably well, but I don't think I have any particular messages for her. She was pretty surprised when I mailed her about the incident, though ("How on earth did you hear about that?")

Best of luck next year!

Oh no... she was reminded of it?? Oh my, I'll need to hide my head in a sandbath a little longer... :) In retrospect, of course, it was actually great recruiting- it's one thing for the faculty to be nice to you when they want something, but quite another when you've just thrown up on their floor and called them a grad student! Even there- I'm still laughing about the coincidence of you knowing her of all people as I bemoan my luck. Small world, isn't it?

Thanks- good luck to you too! You said you were doing analytical chem, right? A friend of mine just started a job in the field (with a bachelor's), but she says the repetition is the hardest part. How do you keep your mind engaged?
