• Greetings from Shannonland. Shannon-ville? Whatever.

  Now that at least 4 people have bugged me about my lack of blogging, I should probably get back into this.
  
  No, I was not seriously injured, nor was my life exceptionally boring during the last month and a half by any means. I'm officially a high school graduate, I'm a soon-to-be Mac convert (my beautiful black MacBook is somewhere around Shanghai, according to FedEx), I'm averaging 12 hours of sleep a night over the last couple weeks, and it's wonderful. I haven't had time to do this much relaxing in like, oh, 3 years, so I'm seriously lapping it up while I have time, because my job starts on the 30th.
  
  Wow, I really haven't blogged in a while. All right, so about this job thing. I'm working at the Van Andel Institute here in town in this guy's lab, and I'm so excited you have no idea. In a really large nutshell, I'm studying how anthrax affects angiogenesis in cancer tumors. Pretty sweet, right? You know you wish you could have as wonderfully nerdy a summer as I'm going to. Or maybe you actually are, because most of you reading this are MIT folk and I keep forgetting that.
  
  Anyways.
  
  So I think the plan from here on out is going to be to blog 3 times a week, which seems perfectly reasonable. Right? Right.
  
  And now I'm going to go hunt down our family's camera so I actually have photos next time I blog.
  
  Get excited.
