Research on babies? That sounds awesome. How old are you? I remember you were still in college last time we talked about a hundred years ago. And whereabouts in Oregon are you? I have a few friends who moved there after college. People with real jobs... weird.
As for me, I'm 23, I live in Pasadena, and I'm in my first year of law school right now. It's pretty exciting/the most stressful and intense thing ever, so it's a good mix.
