Other Good Things

1. Last night I got pretty close to full expression of Hala-asana ("Plow Pose") in my yoga class. That's the one where you lie on your back and lift your straight legs up and over, eventually resting your feet upside down on the floor over your head. My feet weren't quite on the floor (or maybe they were barely touching, but I wasn't putting any weight into them), but I got my knees just above my nose. I tend to be really tight in my hips, hamstrings and back, so opening up this much was a really big accomplishment for me. It felt awesome.

2. I met with my adviser this morning and she gave me the green light to start helping on the mercury meta-analysis, as long as I can postpone the heavy work on it until the summer. Also, my adviser thinks she has a possible dissertation project for me in environmental epigenetics. (!)

3. I checked in with my other boss (arsenic genetics) and she says she's fine with my progress as long as I have something ready for her by the end of February. So I'm not off-track after all with that!

4. Beth likes my red pants.

  1. You have red pants? I got some for christmas after wanting a pair for years. Marisa (yeah, I finally saw her again) said she had a pair too.
