I'm happier now in Cambridge than I've ever been! Cos of 2 reasons- living out of college and my lab. I lurve my lab.
Today was Mona's viva. Her bf landed at Stansted just half an hour before she was presenting and still made it on time! So sweet right! Then our whole lab of 18 went to Carluccios for dinner. We had wine and talked about our good friends CDK1 and cdc20. And Jon paid for me. Best PI ever. Picked up some Japanese from Taka. I'm soooo going to Japan as soon as I can. So disgusted with myself that I haven't been there.
Was almost midnight when Mark and I walked back to the lab.
M: You have a lecture tomorrow morning?
Me: Yup.
M: Yeah... I'm giving it.
Me: Oh haha. Argh 9am lectures zzzz.
M: 9?! I thought it's at 10!
Me: Noo, it's 9! You better show up at 9!
Anyway, it's DOCTOR Mona now. Reminded of Santiagio's viva. That was much bigger scale, with bigger scale celebrations, since it was a bigger lab in a bigger institute. We drank champagne in falcon tubes(DNAse and RNAse-free!).
I love celebrations; birthdays, anniversaries, vivas. When properly celebrated.
Argh it's 2am already. I did tell Shan I'll do the development essay tonight, and YS that I'll play guitar tmr. But I'm sleeepyy yawns. 9am lecture tomorrow. Goodnight!
