Good news, I found a job! Actually that is GREAT news! I will be working at a research lab here in Sacramento, helping the Research Biologist in identifying specific genes that have mutated to eventually form carcinogens. That is the short, uncomplicated version. I am excited about this opportunity for a variety of reasons, mainly being that I am getting paid, but also because it will be a wonderful chance for me to get experience working in a lab setting. The research I will be helping with isn't directly related to Forensics but the techniques I will be using are the same. Also, if it all works out, when I get more in depth with this degree I will be able to utilize this lab facility for my research required for my degree. So this is such a blessing and I am relieved.
I also went to the theatre (said with an uppity English accent) today. The B Street Theatre here in Sac. apparently puts on quite a few productions every year. It is a fairly small theatre that I would guess only seats about 100-200 people, if that. In fact we sat on the front row and were less than a foot from the stage. This theatre company is not very large but did a great job. I went with the lady that I am renting from as the lady that shares the tickets with her had to cancel. We saw A Skull in Connemara written by Martin McDonagh. It was a dark comedy about death, set in Ireland, I believe. I really enjoyed it, although at times it was a bit difficult to understand the slang used by cast members. Overall it was very well done. I am anxious to see what else they put on and will definitely go back. I am excited that there is so much to do as far as theatre and the arts here is Sac. I really enjoy getting to do those things.
Today's Fun fact: Either today or yesterday (not really sure which one) was National Dictionary Day! I'm not really sure what exactly is to happen on National Dictionary Day but maybe you can look up a new word or something!
