Is it POSSIBLE to explode from squeeing?! I mean, REALLY. I just got my invitation to good_fanicons!!! FINALLY! *falls over AGAIN* No need to congratulate me all over again, you all are so sweet and I don't mean to be all LOOK AT ME I AM MADE OF AWESOME but can I help if two incredible things happened to me in a row? LOL

And more details on the internship. Turns out it's not at the University of Michigan but Michigan State University. Which is still really awesome! The former is in Ann Arbor, where my Uncle Andy lives, but the latter is in Lansing, near where my cousin Meg lives! I LOVE Meg and her whole family, being so close to them will be AMAZING. Yay :D There aren't TOO many specifics on the website, but this is the website if anyone wants to take a peek for whatever reason: http://www.phmtox.msu.edu/surf/undergrad.php

And for anyone with a scientific bent, here's the page detailing the work of the professor that called me: http://www.phmtox.msu.edu/faculty/galligan.php In short, he studies neural control of gastrointestinal systems. Cool!

But I do know I'll get a $3000 stipend (yay), I'm not sure if I have to pay for housing or not but they do offer it on the campus, and there's a possibility of travel funds since I live so far away. It's 10-12 weeks with no defined starting date, so I'll have to wait to find that out until I can talk to the professor. His name is Jim Galligan and his lab focuses on "neural control of gastrointestinal motility and blood flow." Basically I'll learn a LOT about biochemistry and discover if it really is something I want to do with my life. Basically, it's everything I could have ever asked for!! *is completely boggled*

*floats off on cloud nine*

\o/! (Finally a chance to use THE most adorable emoticon ever. It's a person with their hands thrown up,if anyone doesnt get it (I didn't get it for the longest time!))

oh wow congrats on getting into good_fanicons and the internship! That's really great. And you get paid $3000 that's a lot and plus it would be a great learning opportunity.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :) And definitely, there isn't really a downside to the internship. It's gonna be great :)

Thanks! :D

Sqüee.

haven't checked the page out yet, but way to go!

i've had someone in the UK ask me if I knew of any sites to download SPN and I don't. Do you know of any?

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Indeed I do. One of them I can't mention in a non-flocked post, but go to my friended comms and you'll see it there (it's a self-explanatory name). Alternatively, there's this link: http://www.difficult-gesture.net/spn/ :) Don't spread that second one too far, I'mnot sure what kind of bandwidth they have.

[burns-my-skin.livejournal.com]

thanks
they've had some stuff to deal with this week and are all going a little crazy
there's about five they haven't seen and will appreciate it

[lost_witness.livejournal.com]

Congrats, especially for the internship! It sounds like a wonderful opportunity. :)

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It really is, I'm so grateful :)

[mona1347.livejournal.com]

YAY! *dances you* Congrats!

You should talk to jebbypal, she's in grad school for biology right now. Immunology I think, though. I went to her lab but I still don't know... I'm a social science/humanities girl :-D.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks hon! :D

Ooh, that's so cool, I definitely will talk to her - thanks!

[twisted-tower.livejournal.com]

All i can do is blither like an idiot!!! MSU is 7 miles down the road that's at the end of my block. It's closer than that book store we went to that you liked. You are totally invited to stay here! In fact you better! I was so up just when I thought you'd be at U of M now I'm sooooo exited. Can I get all excited? Is it for sure?

Woo and Hoo!!!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

You can totally get all excited! It's definitely for sure, I've talked to the professor and everything and he seemed really happy that I was accepting the position! I have no idea how it happened, but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth :)

Also, YAY! Thanks so much!! It would be so amazing to stay with you guys for the summer, make it a much less scary proposition. Apparently there's going to be 7 other undergrads there, and what if i don't like them? Eep. It'll be great to have you guys there :) The only reason I was hesitant was that I wasn't sure how I'd get into the lab every morning (I'll probably have to be there pretty early - i don't know my schedule yet though) but I guess we'll talk about that?

I'm so excited Meg, yay! This couldn't have turned out any better

[twisted-tower.livejournal.com]

My Mom works right across the street from MSU and she works early. I think she's even on the side that you'll be on. I don't think transportation will be a problem. More money for you to keep has to be good. This is going to be so awesome. I'm so proud of you! Well done!
