The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observations of Andy Cole

I have been really busy recently getting a graduate school application ready. I got my least letter of recommendation arranged today. The application has to be in by the first, but I am hoping that they will not be too off put by my recommendations coming in after that. I called them last week to see if this would disqualify me, but they said so long as the app is in it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully not, but I really don't have much hope left in me after talking to my principle investigator today. So about that...

Turns out she didn't know that I was a physics major. And for some odd reason, this is very important to me. I don't understand it, but I'm all upset about it. Seems that it might have been a fluke that I got to work in the Mahoney lab. Someone forgot to flag my research request with 'non ChemE', and I've been playing in the lab not knowing that I was illegitimate. So I went to work in lab today and the entire time I was thinking, "what the hell have I done! I'm not supposed to be here, I should be in a fricking physics lab right now." And to tell the truth I was just plain embarrassed, being around people I respect but still being that damned fool pretending to be a duck when he's obviously a toad.

Ha, well, I lied, it seems I do understand it after all. See, I have emotions... sometimes.

WOOT Go ANDY!
