So I found out one of my upperclassman (one year my senior) is having a baby. And getting married. Though I assume they're getting married before the baby arrived. I would've thought it was a joke (she did plan out a "pretend to have gotten married" joke while I did a rotation in that lab)except she has ultrasound images (which mostly looked like smudges to me but she claimed she's having a girl and was super excited) and she's sold her motorcycle and brought a wedding dress so it seems like it's really happening, after all, and I'm left staring at the tiny purple specks of fruitfly embryos spinning through 70% glycerol and wonder at the madness of life. Especially given that we're both in genetics lab so there're probably bets going on on how the gene segregation will work out or something, but that is what normal is now, isn't it?
I was going to write about something else, probably, but my thoughts are so utterly derailed that going back on track is just not going to happen.
