The Beginning of Blogging

I started hearing about blogging when working in the lab recently and decided that I really wanted to start one myself. Although, I often wonder- who the heck is going to read my blog? who really cares about my life or my thoughts? I know that if I were a random person, I wouldn't want to read about the life of a sophomore in college at all.
Instead of starting off saying everything about myself, I really would rather start writing about my every day experiences and such and let my true self come out in my writing and my entries. I feel like whenever you ask someone to explain themselves (like in interviews when they ask you to "tell me about yourself- likes, dislikes, etc"), you never get the accurate picture. Instead, you get a half ass answer because either: a) the person is too shy or modest to really tell you how great they are, or admit to their flaws as a human being in fear that you will find them weak or b) they are too cocky and will give you a highly biased opinion of themselves which, hopefully, people can see right through. I would rather that my every day interactions and thoughts tell you something between the lines, versus me spelling it out for you. Also, this will leave some wiggle room for opinions on me as a person. I know not everyone is going to like me and I am okay with that. This is who I am- take me or leave me.

Today I came in to work a bit early. The lights were off and no one was in sight. I took advantage of this by turning on the radio to my favorite station which no one else in this lab likes at all. The way I saw it was, "hey, I have to listen to your crap all the time, I got in here before you, so ahahahha, my station time!" I sat on the computer and checked my email, facebook, and self.com as usual. I check self.com for that nutritionist blog to see what she is eating- I try to be healthy and such so I try to follow what she is eating or I just get meal ideas for later. My lab partner showed up after that and we started our PCR reactions. Fun Fun Fun... It wasn't half bad though because we made some jokes while pipetting and then we ran our reactions. I had some lunch, came back, and now am starting this blog. I studied some organic chemistry and realized how it isn't TOO TOO bad, but I think I will be in for some long nights next semester (I will be a sophomore at Harvard next year, undergrad). Our results have just come out and now I have to go fetch those and analyze them- boring day number 2... what a summer!
