New Shiny Blog!

Welcome to my Blog!!
To get things warmed up, I'll give my recent life in a nutshell.
I moved to Wisconsin a few months back, I'm originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the part that people tend to think is in Canada). I went to school in Wisconsin for my bachelor's degree, which was in biology (emphasis in field biology and ecology) and also picked up minors in environmental science and music. After spending about a year at my first full time job in my field, I realized that I did not want to spend the rest of my life doing stream surveys and air quality surveys, although I had a great experience and got to learn a lot about things you'd never learn in a classroom. So I went back to school again, since I'm a glutton for punishment, and got a master's degree in biology- biochemistry and molecular biology. I took a job as a biology lab coordinator at a small private college and have been enjoying my job. I do like working in academia, although I would like it more if I was a professor!! I am already thinking about going back to school, probably to do an MBA first and then my Ph.D.
I have a lot of goals in life, and have a life list that I've been working on and constantly adding to (I'm slowly accomplishing things on this list!) and I am also an avid crocheter and reader. You'll see as time goes on that both of these things will be incorporated into my blogs.

Because I love to read, I thought I'd start out with an update on my book reading- I'm presently reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson. It started out a bit slow, but I'm enjoying it thus far. As I finish up my book, I'll let you know my complete thoughts on it and give you the Ya eh! or the Neh!

I will also spend a lot of time probably talking about biology related things, since I'm a biologist. Feel free to post ideas and thoughts on this.

I'd make this a fun entry to read but it's getting late and I have to work tomorrow!!

Love,

Dee
