Today's interviews...

...were really bizarre. I really liked Kyle. He was so
incredibly nice. And Aron acted like he's known me since
the beginning of time. I've spoken to him on the phone
once. One time! And he's joking around with me telling me
that I can just run in his lab and do some flow instead of
interviewing. It was fun though. We made fun of Brian and
talked about the people he knows at Wash U. When I walked
into Kirk's office he said, "Oh...I know you." And I
thought, "Yeah, I've been in Brian's lab for 4 years. I do
all my flow in your lab. Without my mice your grad student
would have had no RIP." But I was nice. And then he ran
me off because he had to go pick up his kids. So Molly
interviewed his last recruit. That man is a nut case.
He's about to be a nutcase without a lab. Molly got
approved to graduate, so she's setting a date for her
defense, and Maria submitted her paper today. And he
hasn't had anyone rotate this year. I'm not even sure
there was anyone last year. And my interview with Linda
was just dumb. 8-) It's starting to freak me out that I'm
actually about to have to make a decision about this whole
grad school thing and where I'm going to be spending the
next few years. It's a really bizarre place that I'm in
right now. I like it here, but I don't know if I want to
stay. I could probably finish early, but then I wouldn't
want to go anywhere cool for a post doc. If I go to Wash
U, then I'd be okay doing a post doc somewhere cool like La
Jolla and then coming back here or to the CDC or something
along those lines. But if I stay here, I'll probably be
here for the rest of my life. And while that wouldn't be a
bad thing, I'm not sure it would be the best thing. I
guess we'll just have to wait and see where God leads me...
