Eeeee! *jumps up and down*

I just got an email telling me I've been awarded the Cellular Biotechnology Training Grant that I applied for a few weeks ago! :DDDDD Yaaaaay! I totally didn't expect this. It's quite competitive, with only a handful of spots for all the grad students here at Michigan, and I got one! It covers full tuition and most of my stipend for at least 2 years and most likely 3.

This is such a huge relief. I feel suddenly like Jason made the right decision when he chose me for his lab, and I'm so glad that I have relieved a big financial burden from his shoulders! It also means that I don't have to write any more grant applications, YAY. \o/ And it's an awesome thing to put on my CV - the money for this comes directly from the NIH, which is obviously quite prestigious.

Oh I am so happy!!! *giddy twirls*

WHEEE!

[livejournal.com profile] musictoyourlips and I just bought tickets to go to the Creation Stargate Con in Chicago in August! Wanna know why? BECAUSE THERE WILL BE BOTH DAVID HEWLETT AND JOE FLANIGAN!!!

*squeewriggletwirls*

Eeeee, I can't even EXPRESS how excited I am for this. I mean. THEIR FACES. THEIR SQUISHY ADORABLE FACES. *_____* I miss Atlantis the show a little bit, but I miss McShep the pairing A LOT, and it seems like David and Joe are good friends so I can't WAIT to see them together. They better do a joint panel, s'all I'm saying! Eeeeeeee. <33333

As a major bonus, there will also be JASON MOMOA and MICHAEL SHANKS. What is this ridiculous awesomeness! :DDDDDD

I'm considering getting a photo op with Joe, David, AND Jason. SOMEONE TALK ME OUT OF THIS $100 TOMFOOLERY. ...but homg. *flaps hands* I TOTALLY BOUGHT IT. ROSIE AND I ARE GONNA SHARE IT AND IT WILL BE EPIC AND GLORIOUS.

YAAAAAY. Gimme all your adorable Atlanteans, world! *grabbyhands of gleeeeeeee*

"We are pleased to invite you to come to the University of California, San Francisco and interview with the faculty and students of the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Graduate Program."


YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Three for three, baby!!!! Oh, I am SO EXCITED! Intimidated and nervous, a bit, but EXCITED! It's really happening!!!!

My heart is seriously racing right now. I'M ALMOST THERE!

Man, it's such a good thing this semester is academically light for me, because I've now got FOUR very large trips coming up. Seattle, San Francisco, Ann Arbor, and Salt Lake City (for the American Chemical Society conference, I'm presenting a poster). Considering I've never been west of the Mississippi, that's pretty insane! But it's going to be wonderful, I know it! And they're all paid for, hee :D

OMG! *falls over*

OmgwtfYAY!

I've been accepted to the University of Michigan Chemical Biology doctorate program!!!!!

:D \o/

I applied THREE DAYS ago. THREE DAYS. I literally sent it in Saturday night. The woman who called me said this in her email:

"It was great talking to you on the phone. As I mentioned during our conversation, the committee was so impressed by your application that we are ACCEPTING you in our program.


*BEAMTWIRLS* Now UM's going to pay to fly me out and put me up for a weekend in March so I can meet all the professors and students and look at the school.

Like. WHAT???? YAY!

ETA: I have ALSO received an invitation from University of Washington to come visit in February! They defer their final decision until after you visit and they assess your fit with the program. I repeat: YAY!!!!

Now I'm just waiting on San Francisco!

*bounces!*

So you guys remember that essay I wrote about my research experience? It's been chosen to be published in the school admissions materials!!! :O This will be pretty much my first published writing, how exciting is that?? *TWIRLS FOREVER*

Also, I got my new phone!

A+++, TODAY. :D

I love my friends madly, passionately, truly! Only Michelle and Sara could take a pretty blah day and end it with a marathon of giggling and silliness and awesomeness.

I love my purple lamb! I love my random non-sequitur girl!

If you want a good time, call 1-888-420-6543. (Seriously!)

Michelle bit my knee!

Don't touch my sensitive parts!

1: You can stay in my pool house! - 2: Well then we're still whoring ourselves. - 3: But there won't be sex involved! - 1: *ORLY? face*

Lesbian threesome videos would TOTALLY sell.

If you find my hair thing, think of me fondly!

"We were born to fuck each other, one way or another.."

Michelle and Sara eloped to Vegas. That detour to Mexico was intentional, honest!

At least there weren't any spoons involved this time.

KESING!

I sleep on my boobs all the time!

Bye Kelly, go get nekkid!

I LOVE MY GIRLS!! *smishes them to tiny pieces*

And just a fun sidenote I thought y'all would appreciate... my cell phone's background is now the new fiery Supernatural logo, and the banner text is 1-800-WET-LEGS! *beams*

So, SO, I am being IMPULSIVE and making plans with the awesomely awesome [livejournal.com profile] moonythestrals to hop a train to Philly on Tuesday AND SPEND THE DAY WITH HER SQUEALING ABOUT THE SPN DVDS. That's right, I get to experience the genius that is Jsquared WITH A FELLOW FANGIRL. askdjfhsdfkjhsdfkjh.

Keyboard smashing is about all I can MANAGE right now. Good GOD. It's almost as exciting as Wincon, for SERIOUS. Gahhhhhh YAY.

I am so nervous because I don't DO impulsive but this is WORTH IT ZOMG.

Oh, important news! My mom got a promotion, so she's going to get a new car because she needs to travel more, and she's going to finish paying for her current car in 6 months, so instead of selling it she's going to give it to MEEE! It's a white Subaru Legacy station wagon, which, while not exactly a pimpin ride, is still a CAR, a functioning car, and it will be MIIIIINE. Uhm, once I get my license, of course :P But yes! This is exciting news! *twirls*

MY IPOD IS HEEEEEEERE!!!! It's shiny and beautiful and says "iPeanut Property of Anne Gillies" on the back and it's gorgeous and I want to caress it but I'll leave fingerprints and it's BEAUTIFUL and SHINY and also useless. BUT! Not for long, because my MacBook has shipped already!!!! EEEEEEE! *twirls and twirls* I LOVE shiny new things! Happy birthday to me from me! (Which is not for a couple weeks, but I COULDNT WAIT ;) )
exsequar: (BSG Kara laughing bw)
*Squeals* I got an email at 12:57 AM telling me that iPeanut (my iPod) was shipped!!!! That's a) the middle of the night, and b) less than 24 hours after I ordered the damn thing! Holy CRAP I love these Apple people! EEEE! *twirls*
