So I was hired for a workstudy at school paying $15 an hour that involved data analysis (nothing too exciting)...but I don't have to work any minimum hours and I can work whenever I want as long as I make some deadlines. Hmmmm, sounds perfect. So I can still work at the club and do something that looks good on my resume.

Initially, I was having a hard time finding a mentor and getting involved in research at school, but I had a talk with a prof from another department and she gave me the right mix of encouragement, a kick in the ass, and guidance.

So I sent out a bunch of emails last week inquiring about different things and it seems like my inbox is full of opportunities this week. Some are really promising, like really surprisingly so. I guess this is my hannukah present.

It is a stupid little thing, but I am so happy. I am really starting to enjoy school, dare I say, love it. I am glad it finally gelled.

Which is funny because I have just spent 7 hours straight working on take home finals......and even though it was a fucking bitch and a half, I can't believe I can about the genetic mechanisms of certain cancer therapies and know what the fuck I am talking about.

Now all I need is to make it through my stats final on Thursday and in less than 48 hours I will be free for a whole month to make some fucking money. YAY!!!!
