Graduate School

Yesterday, I was accepted to UT's Masters program in Pharmacology/Toxicology, with a research assistantship and tuition waiver thrown in.

Last Saturday, I came in second place for my poster presentation at the Midwest Graduate Research Symposium. I was one of a few undergrads who attended.

It has been a remarkably awesome week in most respects.

I've also written two papers.

...And the cute storage bags I made for it. :)

We've been tackling a lot of projects around the house lately so there has been less time to do fun crafty things. On the bright side, I've replaced my broken digital camera.

That's all for now!
