Thanksgiving alone....I advise everyone to never do this. Always go home or pick a friend to go home with. It was pretty pathetic of me to cook pasta and think about going into work.

I am getting better with my class and research....at least I think I am. I am on track to receive a P in both of my courses
I sometimes think I annoy my PI, he might think that I am a lil lazy. O well, I work hard and I have finished my projects. My shit got done. I am awesome!
I just talked with the Post-doc and she assured me that he doesn't think that I am lazy. This lab feels so right.

The department that I am rotating through is going is grieving the loss of a brilliant man. Dr. Shields had a heart attack while working out last night. This was a man who was brilliant and kind. He was my last interviewer here at Einstein and I essentially poured my soul in his office. We talked about the pitfalls in my application: some grades and my less than steller GRE scores. I then went on about how I chose not to let that define me and how I know that I can do good research. That was the only interview where I even talked about them. I left his office feeling like I had actually had a good interview. Good Men always leave the world too soon. Even though I only new him for a short time, he will serve as a constant reminder to be a both a scientist and a scholar.

I do not know what it feels to loose a mentor, I am in deep prayer for his lab members and hope they find hope and peace through this difficult time

God Bless you and yours
