Grad school admissions. Well, I'm packing tonight for my interview at UCLA's ACCESS biology program!
I'm leaving from Boston tomorrow at 7:50 AM and coming back Tuesday morning at 6:45 AM. (My postdoc at the lab told me I don't have to come in on Tuesday until after I've taken a nap.

Hopkins Undergraduate Bioethics Society. How to Get a Job Without Experience - Larry Stybel - HBR Now. By Larry Stybel | 2:15 PM August 12, 2009 You know the Catch-22: “You can’t get a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job.”
Young job seekers have always faced this dilemma. In today’s shrinking job market, people with years of experience also struggle with it. Whether they face the reality of a layoff, or merely the threat of one, many older workers are trying to reinvent themselves in order to become marketable in a changed economy.
