I've been away for awhile. Once I switched over to the developer build, it was too painful to switch back and I was being really stubborn about keeping the blog consistent with respect to the email address. (It is possible to forward an email with pictures to your regular tmail account and then pass it along to Hiptop Nation from there, but its a huge pain and requires access to a computer for the Desktop Interface.) Anyway, I've been updated to 1.1 finally and am fully switched back.

The new degree is going reasonably well and my Sidekick has been invaluable in keeping in contact with my professors and in keeping track of assignments and tests. Not sure how I managed before, but one look at my GPA from my previous degree answers that question... For all of you smart folks out there, there's nothing quite like sitting in a class full of smart teenagers for 4 or 5 hours every day to make you feel slow and stupid (at least until the test grades come back and you realize most of them aren't as focused).

I'm probably headed into grad school after I finish this biochem thing up in a year and a half. I'm thinking of going into forensic science, which is exciting because its a frontier field that's just now getting fleshed out and explored. Its also a practical field as much as a theoretical one, which appeals to me. My grades this time around should be a solid 3.75 or better overall, so I shouldn't have much trouble finding a program, but if anyone has any experience to relate, let me know.

Finally, I was bored at work and managed to balance a pop can at an odd angle. For those uninterested in my academic adventures, enjoy that, at least.
