With the grant out of the way, lab work slowing down a bit, and my gf visiting for 2 full weeks, I can finally be a happy puppy again. While this week has been spent laying low in Boston, mainly because I’m teaching problem-set sections for Pharmacology and also doing some intermittent experiments in lab, the two of us will be taking a trip to Paris next week! After some last-minute web searching, we were able to find a great air and hotel package from Virgin Vacations for a week in the City of Lights, just in time for Valentine’s Day! Meanwhile, Melody will be interviewing at the Beth Israel Deaconess for their 2nd year Ob/Gyn residency position this morning. It’s exciting, but at the same time rather nerve-racking. I can only keep my fingers crossed in the meantime…
