It has been over a year and so much has changed. First off, I moved to San Francisco! This was quite a leap for me. It represented my first solo adventure where I had no idea what I was going to do once I arrived. A very exciting time until I entered the job search race. I would say this was a TERRIBLE  time of my life. This may sound dramatic, but for someone who takes every rejection personally, saying this was a tough time is an understatement. Luckily I had some wonderful people in my life who carried me through. 

Then the most amazing thing happened, I got a job. Yes, thats right, a real person’s employment opportunity! My life was complete, for the moment. It has been a year since I started and it has been an incredible experience thus far. I am doing something that is influencing people’s lives while enriching my knowledge set and pushing me to new boundries. The details of this will be soon to come, but I want to leave you all with a little suspense…

Anyway, now that my self esteem is back in full force and my excitement about science (and don’t worry, food too) has been renewed I am ready to get back into the blogging world. Now I will leave you all with a little something to make you jealous. I am entitling it, “I live in California.”
