laura megan
science geek extraordinaire
hi! i'm laura. this is my little blog that i use mainly to keep people updated on my life.
i like math and my periodic table socks. i read books like i need them to survive - i practically inhale them. i love my blackberry. i never understood how people could have their entire lives stored on their phone but now i do. i want to get a cat and name it "erwin" after erwin schrodinger. if you don't get the joke, i don't know how we're friends. if i'm ever in a band, it will be called "ultraviolet catastrophe." i have a serious shoe addiction. i'm up to 60+ pairs and counting.
i'm a recent graduate from the University of Utah where i earned my bachelor's of science in chemistry. i will be starting pharmacy school in the fall at the University of Georgia. i'll be following a PharmD/PhD track so i will graduate with two doctorates (though it's anyone's guess as to WHEN exactly i'll graduate). i want to enter the research field, specifically to investigate more effective and affordable treatments for chronic kidney stones, particularly for those patients who show a normal metabolic panel. my other research interests include type II diabetes, the effects of hormones in effluent waste water, and an OTC treatment for hiccups. i already have several ideas for the last one and would be trying them out on myself if i had the proper funding and materials.
i'm a pretty determined person, which i think is just a nice way to say "plain stubborn." i've had a lot of ups and downs throughout the past 6 years but i've learned a lot and i know there's a reason behind everything that has happened to me. i know i'll achieve my goals simply because i won't stop until i do and i refuse to listen to anyone who tries to tell me that it won't happen.
i want a guy who will come up to me and say "nice shoes. want to go out?" an acceptable alternative to this is a guy who can ask me out using the theory behind schrodinger's cat.
i still haven't decided if i could love my child if they didn't know whether to take a derivative or integral to find the area under a curve.
