AAAH

Life is getting a little crazy! Wedding showers and bachelorette parties abound (Yay Chrissy and Jill!), I would love to get my masters this summer (but it is increasingly unlikely), and work is nuts. Hooray for keeping busy though!

I can get my masters if I have all of my data done by the beginning of June so that I can have it all written up by June 10th (give or take a day) so everyone can read it and then I can defend by June 25th (again, give or take!). The real deadline (for all the paperwork) is July 10th, but Powley leaves for the mountains on June 28ish, and won't be back until August! Hopefully the rest of my committee isn't taking off in June (assuming there is ANY possibility of getting everything done in a timely manner!). I guess if I'm not done by then, I can still defend in August, but it would be cool to graduate before I get married!

So, to do (masters-wise):
Insulin RIA (started today, finished tomorrow), analyze data (for presentation on Monday).
Leptin RIA (will start next Monday!)
Ghrelin RIA (early May)
Cut 45 more brains
Fix Brains
NPY and POMC in situ
analyze data
write masters

So, we shall see how long this will take. The pressure is certainly on!
