So a new semester has started dum de dum...orgo, ecology, and korean... i'm learning so much CORRECT korean...instead of my ssatoori.
i guess the highlight of the beginning days back in mich are the girls-laughing, talking, not sleeping, partying and my new job! I finally quit the damned Admissions Office... but it was good money while it lasted.
Now I work for a professor who is researching... Developmental Neuroendocrinology huh you say? just something to do with stress levels and hormones and how it affects humans or something of that sort. His test subjects are Xenopous...some type of frog these critters. So I am the facilitator of his animal lab... yay including tadpoles, juvenilles and adults! We got some salamanders called mud puppies and we're gettin toads in a few weeks. I estimate there's over 100 frogs...kinda gross ay? More's on the way since I get to breed them tommorow. Oy e vay. I just take care of the husbandry, feeding, breeding, health checks, and later on help with the experiments and surgeries. 
I have more hours compared to my last job but at least it's not boring and fun. Yesterday was crazy, my first day of just being on my own and I scrubbed down nine 3x3 tanks, today I was so sore when I woke up. Climbing up ladders and scrubbing while balancing yourself from falling into the tanks with the darn frogs kept jumpin up from the water was harder than I thought...as I was flushing the smaller frog tanks out... the water pipe burst and water went everywhere and I started freaking out like whoa trying to stop the water. The last thing I wanted to do was kill frogs on my first day. Luckily I got the water off and cleaned up the whole mess before being whisked away to Macaroni Grill with the small group...was scrumptious!
was a little nervous for this semester but things seem to be going good. i wake up pretty early this semester...sucks apples but i'm pulling it off oh well =] signing out..
oh forgot to add jae's cool...ppl he wanted me to write that..loser
