That Awkward Moment When...

That awkward moment when I give a half hour presentation in my capstone class only to find out that I was pronouncing a scientific technique wrong. I didn't look very close at the name of a certain procedure and I so pronounced it as a letter instead of a Latin symbol. Here is the comment I received from my teacher.


"...Finally, just a point of information.  Several times you referred to IFN”y” but the final symbol is not y, it is the Greek letter γ or gamma..."

This picture sums up my feelings quite nicely. 

Thank goodness  have developed a high tolerance for embarrassing moments, otherwise this one might have put me over the edge.


Insincerely Yours,

I Insincerely Apologize for....

• Currently listening to Avicii's "Hey Brother" on repeat
• Complaining about my impending finals 20,000,000,000,000 times a day (only a mild exaggeration)
• Wanting to tell you what I dream about every. day. For real, I have a dream ever night. That should be a post in and of itself. 

What do you Insincerely Apologize for?

I leave you with this wonderful picture of me, my friend, and a baby goat. Just because I can.

She's indecisive. She can't decide.

Sean Kingston pretty much summed up my life with the phrase "She's indecisive. She can't decide." My life at the moment is filled with a future of unknowns. I don't know where I will be this summer, I don't know what graduate school I want to attend, I don't know what job I will have next year, and I don't know where I see my life in 5 years.

 On the one hand, I want to be open to new experiences that I would not have planned for myself, but are great opportunities. But, I also want to set goals for myself so that I have something to work towards and for. But how can I make such big decisions that will literally impact the rest of my life. I feel like it took me a very long time to reconcile to my undergraduate major, and honestly, the only reason I could do that was because I knew I could basically still go to any graduate school I wanted. But now I have to choose a graduate school and I am having a quarter life crisis.

However, the good news is that I am going to be a super-senior next year (who'd have thought that would ever be considered good news), which gives me one last year to decide. So that's a plus.

Well if anyone knows what I should do with my life, please feel free to direct me. This is what my resume looks like at the moment

Name: Heidi Jane
Major: Genetics and Biotechnology
Hobbies: Music, cooking, reading, having fun, swimming, crafting, decorating
Professional Interests: Everything and Nothing
5 Year Plan: No idea

Any and all counsel is appreciated.

Insincerely Yours,
Heidi Jane
