PICS
Was flirting with a guy from my Atheist club Friday night, went on his facebook (yeah yeah I'm a stalker) and found out that he is 7 years younger than me...WOW I feel old he he he. guess if I can nab him I'm well on my way to cougar hood
So this lead to me getting into a discussion with my X about what constitutes a "cougar" I thought that it is when you sleep with someone who is an adult but that is 10 years your junior. He thought it was when one is over 30 and sleeping with a relatively younger person....either way I'm on my way LOL

well this is really shitty...my roomate wants me to move out just as I'm about to run out of my GI bill...turning out to be a awesome year academically but a shit year personally. hopeing that I can find some shitty place to live in so that my rent will be really low...fuuuuccckkkk
So I have had some people on and off ask me about the tattoos on my sides to here is the explanation if you are interested
It's from a Greek myth, the story of Pan and Pitys. There are actually two different myths going around about the two of them. The one that I go by is that she had promised the gods that she would be a virgin for their sake. when she realized that Pan had fallen for her she ran from him because she knew she wouldn't be able to resist him if he came near. She finally got to the point where she realized that she was not going to be able to out run him (because he's a GOD lol) and so she prayed to the Gods to save her from him so that she could honor them with her virginity. They accepted and turned her into a pine tree. Pine then became Pans sacred tree.
so on my sides he's chasing her while playing his flute and she is close but in the process of turning into a tree so he will never be able to have her

started dreaming about NCUR last night...not sure if that's a good thing or not lol. so fucking busy all over the place. Plan on getting a lot of stuff done today so that I don't have to worry about it any more. Really need to apply for scholarships and the REU summer programs are running me ragged. Need to just finish them up and leave it there...think I'm getting too caught up in it all.
I'm thinking that if this whole science thing doesn't work out for me I just might start a neco-mimi maid cafe... What do you all think??

hanging out in the Friday Night Lonely Hearts group and chat tonight in anyone wants to join in
Well this good news blows that last good news out of the water! I am going to be presenting not one but TWO research papers at NCUR )the national conference for undergraduate research.) It is the most competitive and most recognized undergraduate research symposium in the nation (possibly the world). It's pretty incredible that I made it in, I beat out 3500 other applications. 
as you can tell I'm going to have a bit of a big head for a couple of days until I get back to applying for NSF summer programs, and start getting seriously humbled again. 
Here are the two abstracts that I submitted, and will be presenting in April,
Trichobilharzia ocellata is a parasitic trematode that causes the infection in humans known as “swimmers itch.” T. ocellata could be controlled via the control of its intermediate host, the gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis. Color based traps could be created for L. stagnalis if color preference were known. Little information on L. stagnalis behavior exists. At the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge 35 randomly selected L. lymnaea stagnalis in the size range of 45-55mm were collected from a coulee. Color preference trial runs were conducted with 7 different colors in water from the coulee. The trial duration was 45 minutes, at which point, the number of snails in each color field were counted. A light meter was used to test Lux levels penetrating the colored materials in order to rule out a possible brightness preference. Between trials the trays were cleaned, the coulee water refreshed, and snails were replaced. Research statistics discovered the snails had a strong preference for purple with a secondary preference of green. There was no correlation between Lux level and color preference. These results could be used in L. stagnalis population control methods, collection for study, or continued behavioral studies.
Naegleria fowleri is an opportunist parasite that infects humans, and other mammals, causing a very rare, but almost always fatal brain infection, primary amebic meningoencephalitis. The criterion for initiating tests for N. fowleri in a water-body is currently based on temperature, leading to most testing occurring in the southern United States. The flaw in this criterion was shown in 1991, Detterline et al, discovered the presence of N. fowleri in Spirit Lake, Washington. This discovery is noteworthy due to the fact that N. fowleri was not thought to be commonly found in northern habitats, outside of man-made artificially heated waters. By exploring the physiological requirements and life-cycle of N. fowleri, I was able to indicate a probable blooming date in Spirit Lake and its possible effects on the biological community. The eruption of Mt. St. Helens was the key factor to inducing the proper conditions for the bloom. Using the known physiological requirements for temperature, water acidity, dissolved iron, dissolved O2, prey availability, and competition presence levels, the probable initiation of the bloom was dated at July 1981. The limiting factor for the bloom was in line with J. L. Griffin's (1972) flagellate-empty habitat hypothesis. This approach of viewing the presence or absence of competition as the limiting factor in the growth of N. fowleri populations, as opposed to the currently observed factor of temperature, could lead to more efficient detection rates in other possible N. fowleri habitats.

Good News Everyone!!
Well, any one that likes naked pictures of yours truly. My set is now due to be coming out on the 6th of Feb instead of the 28th. So you are all going to have to do your laundry a little earlier, because you will have to change your pants after this one 
In other news I've been busy as usual. Will be finding out if I get into the National Conference for Undergraduate Research within the week. I have been applying for NSF summer research programs, and am pretty close to being burnt out on it, but once I'm done I have to apply for scholarships...so the fun's not over yet boys, girls, and thirds.
