Still a bit behind

It's a little exhausting constantly thinking that you're behind. I love all the stuff that I'm doing, and in general, I'm doing very well at all the things that I'm doing. I can't help but thinking that I would be doing even better if I weren't behind and feeling so rushed. I'm actually moving this month though, so that makes the time crunch even more real. My baby goes back to school this week and that will help get us back on schedule. My research group is Still working on putting together our protocols for FTIR, but SEM actually went completely smoothly this week! It was amazing. The first sample wouldn't seem to focus, and I was beginning to have the sinking feeling that this week would be a repeat of our previous sessions where something different slowed us down every freaking time. Dr Ong helped us through a bit and then we flew through the rest of the session. He's teaching a class that includes an SEM portion along with some other equipment and techniques that I really want to take in the spring called Micro-Nano technology (MNT201). If I remember correctly, he said that it will certify you for some type of tech position. It sounds kind of awesome. Our pictures were good. Dr Hamdan said that it's very normal to be ready to get work and get a bunch of things done and then something happens to sabotage it all and you get Nothing. She's so calm and helpful about everything. Awww, we have such great professors. I love Phoenix College. Anyway, maybe SEM was a sign of things to come and everything will go super smoothly and I will be completely caught up. lol smh We'll see. I'm going to post some of the stuff about the conference next. Promise.
