Today when I was running all my errands, I got grunted at by a guy. Is this a way to tell someone that you think they’re cute/hot/attractive looking? I didn’t know that we were supposed to sound like pigs when we thought this. I should just start making animal sounds at guys whenever I think they’re cute/attractive. This would be a very interesting life (even more than it is) with all this noises. I think I would be a cow. Moo. Yea, you are cute ;)
I got an email yesterday.
I was shocked.
I did it…just a little bit too late.
In September/October, right about the time that I withdrew from school, I was also applying for co-op opportunites. Well, it turns out that I got one.
I received an email from the head of Center for Devices and Radiological Health , which is part of the FDA.
The guy in charge is the director of the Medical Imaging and Diagnostics Laboratory, which is a research lab located in the Division of Imaging and Applied Mathematics at the Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, CDRH.
Cool, right?
They have two research topics : (per email)
“We have a laboratory cone-beam computed tomography system that is capable of acquiring x-ray images for 3D reconstructions of phantoms or small animals. Candidates with interests in a hands-on experience in the laboratory related to mechanical design, electrical control, software development, or data analysis could take on one of several projects related to x-ray imaging physics, graphics-based programming (labview) for hardware control, machine control and automation. Candidates with interests in statistical and mathematical methods in imaging could be involved in projects related to 3D image reconstruction or the development of state-of-the-art ideal-observer based performance metrics for the assessment of medical imaging systems. “
The projects benefit things like cardiovascular and breast cancer research on imaging.
Part of me is like, “GO FOR IT! GO FOR IT! What a great opportunity…”, but the other (practical) side of me is saying 1) finish school (undergrad.) as soon as possible 2) save money working at GAC-RUR to save for more school 3) Moving is too much of a trouble, 4) etc.
I know I’m going to go with my practical side, but wouldn’t it be cool to just leave and go and do something that is SUPER interesting but you don’t want to do for the rest of your life? I think so.
Wow. I’m just shocked/excited. Now, only if I could get one in the field of DRUGS…I would be on my way to Washington D.C in a heartbeat. Anyone?
ICECREAM!
Everyone knows that Texas is the best state in the United States. Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, etc. The West Texas region, Hill Country, the Gulf. WE ARE THE BEST.
But, you know? I think that greatest thing about Texas is Bluebell Icecream. I don’t think I could part without it. Sure, they get some of the flavors some other Southern states (i.e. Oklahoma, Georgia, etc.), but how great it is to be part of such a wonderful culture of cream, milk, and sugar,
Most people who know me would be correct to say that I’m not a heavy user of any sort of drug (i.e. cigarettes, pot, alcohol), but BOY, icecream is my addiction.
I can eat and eat and eat.
I don’t do that, heaven forbid, but if I didn’t care about ballooning into a 300 pound HOT girl, I would do it. All that wonderful euphoria on my tongue.
Wait, I’m not going to lie. Sometimes I WON’T stop myself from eating icecream. I tell myself, “hey you. youre skinny. eat a lot” So, I do :)
It’s funny that I am a complete health nut (fiber, no sugars, lots of water, all my vitamins, everything organic …if i can afford it, getting my omega-3’s!, etc..), but icecream doesn’t count. It’s in a category of its own. HAIL TO THE ICECREAM.
