Wow, so tomorrow is my last day at work. It’s weird that it has been already 6 months and its over just like that. The knowledge that my coworkers passed onto me is priceless. There are only twelve labs in the world that do awake behaving electrophysiology. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing, but I’m glad I learned the material. I guess if an employer appreciates neuroscience then they should appreciate my knowledge. On the other hand, if they’re a hard*ss they’ll through my resume out like the other 90% of unemployed science enthusiasts. Hmphhh, but that’s too far in the future.
A colleague of mine at this job showed me the value of pursuing your interests. Hobbies are good, they consume time, and if they’re a productive hobby that’s two birds with one stone. I’ve had a revelation… (less ellipses George) (ugh, and what did I say about talking about yourself in the third person), this job was tedious at times and I’m kind of done with the labor. BUT, I’m really going to miss some of the people I’ve met. It was a great academic setting, with knowledge in every corner.
I went around the city and took some photos today. I picked up some knowledge on my adventure.. Alignment is crucial, so it may take several shots to get the proper photo. Cropping is also a big part of photography, especially in terms of the iPhone.
Today’s photo was taken under a glasshouse on Newbury St. You can clearly tell the alignment is off, but whatever, I didn’t want to seem like a fool with my iPhone and take like 50 pictures.
Oh and yea, there was this girl on the T today who was talking to her coworker. She said “like” probably 4 times per sentence, and at one point I genuinely considered approaching her and asking a simple question. During which I would’ve mocked her dialogue style by inserting like 8 times into every sentence. As I walked over, another girl in the train car turned her head, and it was the president of a club on campus. She sent me an email about 2 weeks ago, a pretty important email, one that I COMPLETELY forgot to respond to. Instant karma for attempting to be obnoxious. She established eye contact with me, and than a pretty difficult and awkward dialogue between the two of us began. This is why Boston is rough, there aren’t enough people in this city to prevent encounters with past colleagues.
Well friends, I shall wave off friends. Oh, today’s song is by Noah and the Whale, it’s called 2 Atoms in a Molecule. I’m actually trying to learn it on the guitar.
