Happy New Year ! My CV has been updated with the 10th article my name appears in. Other than that, I am doing lots of Western blots in order to re-send my article. Then, all my efforts will be on finishing writing my thesis.

Nine and a half months have passed since my last post. All this time has flown by at an amazing speed due to a busy work schedule, trying to settle in in a new house, and THE ACCIDENT. On July 6, my Mom and I were driven off the highway by another driver and crashed in some trees at 65 mph (100 km/hr). The front of my Mom's Mini Cooper was completely smashed while I got multiple fractures and a blood clot. My Mom had minor injuries and I am grateful she didn´t suffer like I did. Came back to Norway after a month in Long Island, New York. After two weeks at Haukeland Hospital, I was transferred to Nordås Rehab where I learned to walk again. After 5 and a half months I can go up and down stairs and walk normally. Started working full time a month and a half ago, moved my office and lab into the newest Lab building, and hope to finish my PhD after the new year. Life has a new and deeper meaning and I see things in a new perspective and appreciate more than before that I am alive, alive to celebrate Christmas with my loving partner and our kids. Thank you God !

Last Wednesday, my boyfriend and I bought a house after I managed to sell my apt. Moving in on March 1 and moving out of my apt. on March 15. I am soooooo excited. For the first time in my life I will live in a house which I own. My article has been accepted into BMC Immunology so my CV had to be updated. Let you know how the move goes. Bye for now !

What is it they say, "new year, new opportunities" ? I truly hope to finish my PhD before the summer-been dragging it too long. On a personal note, my dear boyfriend and I are having a fantastic relationship, got a gorgeous gold/white gold ring from him at Christmas, and despite struggling to sell our apartments so that we can move in together, we are having a blast. Happy New Year to you all !
