The Triplex is mine, and being employed is in the future!

A place to live and a way to bring home the bacon I wanna eat there. "What? When did this happen?" you ask.  Well, on Monday, my application for the triplex was officially approved.  The tentative move in date is Nov 3rd, but it will probably be sooner.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be before the end of October.  I don't want to pay the whole month of November at my current place!  My parents also graciously offered to buy me a bed, basically the only big ticket item I needed to buy.  Awesome!  Now I need a desk, chair, couch, tv.....  Craig's List here I come!

As for the job, I found a group that I really like.  They work on fluorescence microscopy, and developing a new technique that will make data acquisition faster and more accurate.  Think CT scan and tomography, but faster and better quality.  Unfortunately, she does not have an opening right now.  She's working on some grants, but she doesn't think any of them will come through until the beginning of next year.  But she will contact if she does get an earlier opportunity.  She did say that I don't have quite enough physics background yet.  Clearly only a person who did their undergrad in physics can work for her!  But, she said if I get an A in my electricity and magnetism class and my physical optics class that she will consider that enough.  I need to talk to my professor to see what my grade looks like!  Granted, I haven't taken physical optics yet.  I guess I'll sign up for that next semester.

Oh, I tried out a new church last weekend with my brother.  He came to visit while he was in Phoenix.  The church was a bit showy.  It kind of felt more like a concert at parts, but the pastor was very animated.  I couldn't not pay attention.  I'm trying out another church with my friend Nick on Sunday.  So, we'll see how that one goes.  It's farther away, but who knows?  It might be worth it.

Classes are super busy right now.  I have three classes, and I have a homework due Thurs. and Mon and midterms Thurs. Fri. and Tues.  So, I've been studying like crazy!  In fact, that's what I should be doing right now!  Time to hit the books.
