as of december 13th, 2007 i am officially a college graduate from arizona state university with my BA in Psychology!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 and 1/2 long years later, at the age of 22, i can now do what i have been doing since high school! which is...pointless jobs.

so, in that case...GRADUATE SCHOOL, HERE I COME!

i am going to take "post bac" classes for awhile (i think a year) as i apply to graduate schools and work in labs in phoenix. i hope to work at barrow neurological institute and/or T-Gen extensively before applications for graduate school.

for those of you who don't know what i study (which is most of you!), i study behavioral neuroscience. i am in the process of publishing a manuscript on paw placement preference in rats dependant on age, sex, and prior memory testing.

yes, i do animal research, including on rabbits. however, i do make sure the animals are well taken care of, and we have a FANTASTIC animal care team here at the university that cares for the animals each day. also, none of my experiments involve the necessity of lack of human contact, so all the animals are handled everyday and are friendly with humans :).


I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF AND EXCITED TO BE EDUCATED AND A DEGREE HOLDING GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

Come to Prescott, we shall celebrate together over a game of kings cup for....my 19th birthday this Saturday and your graduation :biggrin2:! Oh, bring me a lab rattie while your at it, lol :p.
 
thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!! i'm soooo excited. it seems so surreal to me. i feel like i graduated high school yesterday or something, and now, here i am...sooo crazy.

amy: i don't think what your house needs is another animal!!! :) buutttt...here's a secret for you (and the rest of this forum)...

if one of the lab rats ever does something that will like..."hinder" the surgery i have to perform or already performed and they become "unusable", we are supposed to just put them down, and that's that. but if they don't hurt themselves in the process and they are perfectly healthy rats, i DO take the rat home, and i DO find them a new home, and i just tell my PI (principal investigator) that i put the rat down.

i just don't have it in me to put down an animal that was bred for research purposes and didn't even get the chance to contribute to science.

so if that EVER happens again.....:)

tracy and nemo

ps: a game of kings cup DOES sound pretty good right about next weekend...:) we should totally talk!
 
congratulations!!!! i'm right there w/ you on may 15th i will have my bachelor of arts in communication sciences & disorders....then off to graduate school i go!!!

its such a great feeling to know you're almost there, and what you're studying sounds incredibly interesting!!!

YAY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin2:
