A week of weirdness

So this week was a bit weird, in that it felt like I had virtually nothing to do, even though I accomplished a few important things. But after the fast-paced few weeks I've had (wedding, private defense, Joe's parents, both of our public defenses), getting back to a 'normal' not so busy schedule has been nice.
I put together my poster for the FENS meeting that starts this weekend in Geneva. Every 2 years, the european neuroscience community has a meeting... of course this year it's in Geneva, so I don't get to go on a fun trip and must commute everyday to the convention center. I also submitted my first manuscript with my GABAB data. We'll see if it gets accepted to the journal for review. If it does, great! If not, we'll have to rewrite and resubmit to another journal.

I also got to play around with my wedding pictures and am starting to pick out my favorite pictures to put in an album. I want to make a massive album of pictures from the official photographer as well as pictures taken by friends and family. So if there are any of you out there with wedding pictures, please send me some so that I may include them in the album.... I'm so sad because I don't have pictures with a lot of my friends, especially those that didn't come down to the bar after the reception finished up.

I was also able to chill out Tuesday afternoon to go see The Incredible Hulk with Joe and Adrian and Thursday after work I went climbing with Stephan and Kristen for the first time since March. It was great to be outside climbing again. I almost forgot how much fun it is! I didn't get to use my new rope yet, but I finally got to use my new daisy chain and carabiners that I bought when we were home for Christmas.

So, this weekend and next week I'll be attending the FENS meeting and Joe decided to go up to Norway again to work on his collaboration with the lab up in Bergen since I'll be busy all hours of the day with the conference. That's all for now!
