I totally need a chem geek icon.

One note regarding Playthings - something everyone's bitching about when I think there's really an explanation. A lot of people are like "wtf is up with the superdoors?" and to that I say, clearly the spirit was holding them shut somehow. Because when she faded away THEN Sam was able to bust through. It was a pretty clear connection to me, and I'm a little baffled by the reaction to it. Silly fandom. But since that's well overshadowed by the OMG WE HAVE THE GAYEST/BESTEST SHOW EVER, I forgive you. *g* (PS I'm not saying it makes SENSE, but they can amke up any power they want for their MOTW, can't they? lol) (PPS It's always hot to hear Dean say "sonofabitch", so I have no objections :D)

And some awesomesauce news: I GOT OFFERED A SUMMER RESEARCH POSITION!!! *hops up and down happily* Yay! This is very exciting. I've been going through the process of talking to professors here at my school for awhile now. The original plan was to go back to Michigan State, but i realized that if I want to do independent research my senior year, I need to get started on a project now, so I have enough background to do it. This is especially in light of my going abroad to Dublin for a year and not having that time available to me to work here. So I started talking to people and Dr. Fenlon offered me a position!! I was hoping he would, because of the three I've spoken to, he's the one I'd most like to work with. There's another one, Dr. Mehl, who's kind of, hm, a bigger deal? He's a higher level prof with more funding and lots more students working for him. But. He scares me, heh. He's very intimidating and I just don't feel comfortable speaking with him, you know? And I know myself (and Mona pointed this out too) - I'm a sensitive person, and I think that working with him would actually make me miserable, regardless of the other 'objective' perks. And this other opportunity is wonderful too - I mean, I'll get some really nice one-on-one work with my professor, and I'll get a lot of hands on work in biochemistry and organic chemistry (my project has to do with DNA and, er, a bunch of technical stuff I won't get into *g*). It's a much different area than my work last summer, much closer to what I actually want to stick with, so that's excellent. I'm really excited! And it's so nice to have this locked in. Yay!

That sounds great, Im sure you missed the rat veins

The door/window thing...Exactly. :)

And yay! Congratulations on the research position!

I was actually kind of happy with that scene - I mean, I imagine glass doors are pretty damn resilient; too many shows have scenes like that where the glass shatters effortlessly from one punch. I think in reality it WOULD take some effort to bust through.

And congrats! :D

OMG YAY congrats honey! :D

It's always hot to hear Dean say "sonofabitch", so I have no objections :D
The general applicability of that statement for most of us fangirls scares me a little ;D

And congratulations about getting this research position with the prof you'd prefered anyway!

Congratulations! I'm super excited for you. And you're going to Dublin?! I must have missed when you mentioned that or maybe it just slipped my mind. In either case, that is very exciting. Going to new places are super interesting and you learn so much about other cultures.

He's very intimidating and I just don't feel comfortable speaking with him.
I totally get what you mean. There are several professors that intimidate the crap out of me, therefore I don't talk to them much, lol!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Anne for the WIN! A huge congrats on the Summer Research Position - it sounds fantabulousness.

as to the busting through, I'm with you on the reason. I was more WTF about no CPR on the unconscious child....that made no sense to me but I was so blinded by THE PRETTY that I didn't really care!

[candidlily.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR RESEARCH POSITION!!!! :D Congrats!

[huggenkiss.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS MY SWEET! I am so happy for you! *cheers and waves pom poms*

Totally agree about the doors/windows and the ghost - watched the episode last night, and that's exactly what I thought was happening.

Congratulations on the research post!
