Whew… I have had quite the week. It’s been crazy intense. I realized this week that my research prefers to operate on a strange schedule. So as much as I would love to work 9-5 Monday through Friday like a “normal” person, my research begs to differ. I found myself in lab until 11:45 pm one night and then back by 8:45 the next morning. It’s been interesting because although I generally have to come in around 9ish each morning, I get these strange blocks of time where I am waiting for things to incubate or grow or whatever. So it’s like come in and do a bunch of stuff… wait………………………………………… wait……. OKAY! Do more stuff! Wait………. Ha… This is the life of a research scientist I guess.
So during one of my epic breaks earlier this week, my friend Janet and I decided to go for a walk with my DSLR and my new lens! It was freakin’ gorgeous outside (66 degrees!) so I was glad to be able to escape lab and go take pictures. Janet was awesome and let me take a ton of pictures of her so I could practice/get used to my new lens and shooting outdoors. This one is one of our favorites!
