Happy Y2K!  Yes, I know it's a little late to be wishing everyone a Happy New Year, but oh well...c'est la vie, non?
                      I hope everyone had a good vacation...I know that I enjoyed myself on a much-needed break from all of life's pressures
                      (ie my honors project!!!).  We just got done with the first week of classes...so far, things look like a lot of fun!  I'm taking
                      creative non-fiction (aka Bullshit 101), nonparametric statistics (it's not as bad as it sounds, really!), advanced biochem
                      (it's a mini FYP reunion every day!), and a history class (eeek!  I'm out of the science building!) on the British-French
                      relationships in North America.  A little random, yes, but nothing too stressful...I am also finishing up my two research
                      projects...EM is coming along well, all I need to do now is snap a few pictures and work on the write up...my honors project
                      is something else compeletely!  I'm trudging through Excel files and graphs in order to analyze the data I collected last
                      semester...what a pain!  I'm so glad things are looking good...it makes it a little easier to sit in front of a computer for hours on
                      end when your data actually SUPPORTS your hypothesis!!!  It is looking so good, in fact, that my advisor submitted my
                      abstract to AChemS for their annual meeting in Sarasota, FL at the end of April.  Cool beans!  I'll have to wait until March to
                      hear what the verdict is (around the same time I should be hearing back from graduate schools, by the way), but Dr. Hornung
                      seems pretty confident that I'm in.  Yay!  This will be a FABULOUS experience for me...BU, take notice!!! :)

                      Well, that's enough of academia.  Aileen and her new, non-psychotic roomie, Sean Higgins, hosted a wild party Wednesday...
                      it was a great chance to see everyone from freshman year again!  I should be getting my pictures back sometime soon...I'll
                      add them to the photo album, have no fear!  I may have to sensor a few of them, knowing what we usually do when we get
                      together, but I promise you'll get the idea  :)

                      I've got to run...I have a ton of reading to do for Monday, as well a trying to decipher my biochem notes (they're all in a nearly
                      illegible patented Aimee scribble that makes people wonder why I'm not going to medical school).  Hope you all have a
                      fabulous weekend, and I will hopefully be updating this page within a week!  Take care!

                      Love,
                      Aimee :)
