I learned my abc's

Ok, just to make things clear, I learned my abc's a LONG time ago - ouch, nevermind, a few years ago. I hate remembering how old I am. lol

I did however, learn how to use the STM in lab this week and have managed to get some pretty decent scans. Fortunately, I can now come into lab and pretty much work on my own already - for the most part. I keep learning new things everyday and I hope that I can get some good results this summer. Alex keeps saying that I should be able to get a couple of publications out, I think I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Also, I found out that I got the fellowship I applied for! I am very excited, since this means more money (for a year) and my health insurance is also paid for for the year, both very HUGE pluses. I have yet to meet anyone involved with the fellowship yet, but I believe we will meet for lunch on Monday. The whole point of the fellowship is to take science into the high schools, so "lucky" high school students will be learning to use the STM with me. It should make for an interesting year...
