Heading back to NOLA tomorrow

This seems to get harder every time I do it. No, truthfully, this time isn't as hard as back in August, but you know me -- I hate change, I hate leaving my comfort zone. And this (Kansas) IS my comfort zone, not just because I was born and raised most of my life here, but because this is where the people who truly understand me and love me in spite of my neuroses are.

I'll be all right once I get busy -- and Higher knows that won't take long. Classes start Tuesday, and I'm enrolled in a regression statistics course. I'm still working on my review. My pal Sarah and I are going to be researching grants and then writing grants. I have a plan for my research, and I can get started as soon as Daniel (Barney's lab tech) can get me in some Oryzias latipes (Japanese medaka).

Just be prepared to start hearing about random bouts of depression and tales of the trials and tribulations of doctorate-level research.

Oy . . . I hope I'm as smart as I and everyone else think I am.
