[Week 2]

Week 2 has not been as good as week 1. At the end of Week 1 we visited UC Santa Cruz and its a really pretty setting (in the woods!). We got a lecture about computational biology which was interesting. They have a new engineering program there and want to start a synthetic biology program soon !! Maybe if I'm lucky enough to stay with CITRIS at UCB then I can work with that program, since these schools collaborate pretty often on research projects.

I've been feeling really sick and homesick as well this week. Didn't make it out of the dorm room too much unfortunately. Been working mostly out of the laptop. However, I did watch Donnie Darko. That movie is epic. Well I'm talking to Shanna every night now and that is sooo nice.

This weekend I'll be going to SF. And I did my laundry, hell yeah!! And my Kil-Jaedan paladin is level 33 whoo-baby. Just gotta keep working, and keeping focused. On research, that is.
