Quick status report!
I flew into San Diego last Monday night after a terrific weekend. My car got here before me but luckily my new roomie Nikhil intercepted it. I slept that night with a pillow and a towel (ghetto fabulous, I know) and so made it a priority to buy a bed the next day. Mission accomplished. I went with a NYC night-sky theme (as opposed to the greenblack thing I had last year and the previous year’s Love Boat theme). The bed I got is from the Manhattan collection and the dude who sold it to me is an ex-Nuclear Engineer from the Bronx who plays in a metal band (Party’s Over) and knows the one Bklyn metal band I know semi-well. I’m thinking of getting white christmas lights and arranging them in a cool way over the headboard.
I went into work for the first time on Wednesday. I met my new PI and my coworkers. For the most part, I’ll stay off work on Tumblr (never good to discuss work on the internet) but right now I just want to say I’m excited. Everyone is doing cool things and seem like cool people and things are just…cool. Coolio, in fact. Adam (my PI - principal investigator aka pinata-party instigator) bought me some coffee and we shot the shit. He’s a cool dude whose research is cool and I’m excited to work for him for the next few years because it seems like it will be cool. Cool times ahead.
Thursday I played with stem cells. The government is paying me to do things to stem cells. Be afraid.
Yesterday I waited for the cable guy to set up internet which is why I can now write this post on Tumblr in a towel on my bed after a shower.
Today I’m going to continue my errands. I’ve been ferrying things from Ikea Target etc and today I’m going to hopefully load 200lbs of furniture into my car and single-handedly bring it up to my apartment because Nikhil’s in Vegas till tomorrow night. Yeah, wish me luck.
