Time for the quick update on the life and times of me: I kind of finished my 9 (oh, wait, 11 month) internship, though I still haven't been graded. The core course of the programme I managed to get through with grades increasing each exam, as opposed to most of the other people who had decreasing grades. Weird, given the fact that my prior knowledge of the subject decreased with each exam at the same rate as the decrease in time spent preparing. As it's time for something completely different (within the field, so no, not quantum physics time just yet) my 6 month internship is within a genetics group and involves plants. Yes, plants.
So currently I'm working for a short period for a real ***** of a boss, even though I nearly resigned last Friday. Amazingly enough she hasn't got round to firing me yet, but maybe she's too afraid to do that just yet. She's not entirely stupid, there's four experienced people there including me - she realises that if she fires one, all four of us will walk and she definitely cannot handle the situation on her own...
Regrettably, I (again) haven't been able to make it to various places in the country such as Didam and Breda, and I even have some difficulties in reaching the UC campus. It's a shame that I'm missing Natasja before she leaves off the US. Natasja will be blogging about her trip at: www.takeitontheroad.net.
