Just a quick update...

I'm back in the country. The last few weeks have been going quite well. Better than I could've hoped for, thanks to a few recent scholarships/fellowships I've taken. Still waiting on word from one more of them. Hoping for the best... but really, in the past year I've been afforded more scientific opportunities than I'd ever hoped for. So things are going pretty swell.

In the meantime, I am extremely bored. Mostly I am playing League and trying (and failing) to write. And being sick. I'm not used to all these foreign American bacteria.
