God has is really been THAT long

Well folks if anyone still comes here, I guess I should update what's been going on in my life.

Guess the biggest news is that I've had a girlfriend for the past 2 and a half months. This marks the first REAL girlfriend since college for me. It's actually been pretty easy to balance my work life and my social life since Shelly actually works more then me (if you can believe).

So back in February I had a committee meeting covering my behavioral studies. Three hours later, they told me that I could probably graduate by May 2009.

I've co-written a paper that's still in the editing process, but soon it will be published (my first Brown publication on my thesis work). Speaking of papers, I've just been published a second time with our collaborators in China.

I'm also going to my first Science Conference since I've been at Brown in November in DC. Now I just have to get the work done.

I've got a Leadership Alliance Student this summer. This is a program where they let undergrads from across the country come to Brown to learn research. It's been fun, frustrating, and time consuming but it is a much needed distraction from my own failed experiments and writers block.

I'm flying home to AL on Thursday to go to two weddings. Tony Mason's in on Friday night, and Adam Isbell's is on Sat. One high school friend and one college friend. Man I'm gonna have a busy beginning of vacation.
