This is my first foray into the world of blogging, post-Livejournal. I felt like I was getting a little too old for that site anyway; somehow, the same outlet I used at age 20 to express myself seems a little juvenile for a 24-year old. I mean, I no longer discuss cramming into booths at Village Inn with my friends, too young to go to the bar; nor do I endlessly speculate on which classes to take next semester. So I think moving on and saving those blogs for my archives is more appropriate.
Summer is in full swing here in CH...or should I say Durham? I feel like a split personality ever since I moved to the suburban/urban mixture that is Durham. I think my heart and my education are still in Chapel Hill, as much as I love my new place. But I am learning to appreciate Durham night life and the convenience of having so many stores nearby. Anyway, after everything I have been slogging through since the start of May (qualifying exams, research talks) it feels like I haven't even celebrated the relaxed vibe of summer, and now it is already July. Even though I have been jamming out to Fresh Prince's "Summertime" in my car since May, the whole effort to enjoy the summer has been half-hearted. So now I am going to throw myself into it and spend a lot of time on the hammock sipping margaritas and trying to go to the beach.
I'm going to start after July 4th though. I'll probably still work that day. :)
Well, time to get back to making love to science. Our relationship has been a bit strained lately, so I'm trying to ease us back into the swing of things. It would be nice to get something out of the summer besides a lot of "blue balls" (in the female sense) over failed experiments.
