No Im not dead; I've just been really busy. Took a trip to Garden Grove, CA with the Rivera clan. It was a chance to get a way from the desert for a coupe of days.
School is progressing nicely and I now know exactly what classes I need to graduate next year. Work is also going well, and I feel settled. I have a decent summer internship lined up with Innexus, and am looking forward to being back in a wet lab setting.
My green card status has finally moved up; It has changed from a 7 year wait to them giving me a decision or a request for an interview within 60 days! This is by far the best news of the year...so far...
