Lorien and Meg:
Thank you SOOO much for your responses! I am going to investigate this prospect more and see where it leads me. I just didn’t want to overwhelm myself in the first year of class. As you mentioned Lorien “i need to make sure that the time in lab will fit into my schedule.” One could have all of the best intentions to try something new, yet completely do poorly at it because they “bit off more than they could handle.”
This is why I adore OPM…there is always great advice!
