Today rocked, but yesterday sucked, so right now the new year is 50/50 for me.

And I just got your card today too... look at that synchronized delivery!!

Hope the reas of your year goes MUCH better. Thanks for the new year wishes sweets!

Oh poor sylvan! I don't like to think of you as being sad.

Stay warm and cuddle a kitty, if possible.

I hope that the year improves quickly and rewards your kind heart with all the wonderous magic that you deserve.

*hugs*

It will get better. I don't think I've ever had a new year start off well. Something about the let down from the holidays puts everyone in a bitchy mood and makes them all crazy. Things will even out. Just relax baby!

Hi cutie, I think it was the that made me feel better.hehe that was to cute of you. &

Don't be sad. *hug*
Don't believe that two days will make a whole year go bad. There's still 363 more to make it better. You know?

Feel better.

i'm sick...all blocked nose and shit,i hope that gets all the illness out of the way for the year.
i think all that clean air was a shock to the system.

no its good to get the bad days over with early in the year

Hope today is going better than the previous two...

You asked, "how does one end up in the computer science faculty while analyzing salmonid evolution?"

The general answer is that computational biology (the use of computational techniques to address problems in biology) is a fast-growing field. All kinds of computer scientists are jumping at the chance to explore a new problem domain, so are learning a bit of biology and using their computer science skills to solve problems that are of interest to biologists.

The personal answer is that I always wanted to be a biologist, but ended up finishing my undergrad degree in computer science instead, more or less accidentally. Now I'm trying to fix that, by doing a computer science phd in computational biology, so I can work in biology. Officially my research is not in studying salmonid evolution per se, but rather devising new computational approaches for studying evolution in general. But it's the fish I'm really interested in.

(That's not that scary, is it?)

I've had a similar start to the year... I choose to look at it as "things are gonna get better from here on in"

Maybe you're just getting the bad over with early so the rest of the year can be great...

The Secret Life of Bees is pretty good so far... sad, but good. Hope you have a happy Sunday!

I agree with LaDolceVita-you're just getting all the bad stuff out of the way now. That's the way to do it, too-get it all over with! You're a sweetie and deserve the best year!

Hope you feel better soon!

Can I hit on you?

I jumped on to see how the SG world was doing... see how some of my favourite people were hanging in after the new year and I was shocked to see the usually jovial (and inquisitive) Sylvan niether happy nor asking her string of questions. sigh. this makes me sad. Never fear... it's just a couple of days. The sun rises... the sun sets... little more than that. Hope tomorrow seems a little brighter.
