NIH came

and i was right to be scared. its usually a 20-something sweet southern woman who is totally easy.

instead, i got a guy my parents age who clearly has been in science his whole life (aka totally socially wrong) it started off HORRIBLE - totally couldn't answer their first couple of questions - but it turns out thats just because they didn't know the equipment we have :) which made it a lot easier once i took them to the freezer. he warmed up to me by the end and i showed him a picture of my dog (it was my computer background and he was checking out my dock - see previous comment about socially wrong) she was really nice (the woman that was with him) but she talked less and had a wicked accent so when she asked questions i didn't know the answer to, it generally started out with i didn't understand the question because it was about acroynms i had never heard before and i thought i just wasn't getting what she was saying!

but its over. i have some stuff i need to take care of and email to them, but i have lunch plans with edgar and just excel BS to do for the rest of the day. and i'm going to hang out with jess tonight! oh, this day is getting better already :)
