Graduating College

As I mentioned last time, I graduated college since I've last updated.  I graduated in May with a degree in Biology.  Currently I am very unsuccessfully seeking a career in research biology, with intentions of going to graduate school to study cell signaling.  It's all extremely exciting, which is why I have time to blog.  I've started up this blog again because I'm bored as shit and I can't seem to find anything truly worthwhile to do while I wait around for my resume to get into the right hands.  I've been told it's not crap, by the way, my resume.  Apparently.  Not that that results in me actually getting a job, no, that would be too easy.

I'm currently living in a fairly large city with two roommates.  Well we're not truly roommates, thankfully.  We each have our own room, which really makes us flatmates, but apparently that particular term has not entered the regular American vernacular.  I digress.  I think I'll talk about how living with people is hard at some point, no, I will talk about how people are hard to live with at some point, but that day is not today.

It probably hasn't come up on here because I haven't been posting at all, but music has become an important part of my life.  The two things I feel like I did my last two years of college were biology and music.  I sing.  Generally I sing in a choir but occasionally I sing solo repertoire as well.  I don't particularly like to sing solo rep though.  It takes a very long time to learn to sing it well, especially the classical stuff I had to sing for a while.  You have to keep practicing the same song again and again, until the foreign words that didn't make very much sense in the first place, make even less sense.

In any case, I enjoy singing in a choir more, not only because there is more rep but also for the social aspects.  You have a built in interest that you can talk to others in the choir about, singing.  Not only that but you are all working towards some sort of goal together, whether that is a concert or event.  Entering a choir is like entering a supportive team of people all coming together to produce something wonderful and beautiful, rather than to compete.  And I love it.  Probably helps that singing releases those sweet sweet neurotransmitters that make you feel all happy inside.

Hope you stick around for a bit,
