resurrected the lj client.... maybe i'll post more
Right then. I felt like updating I guess. None of you guys ever do anymore except for Sache really. And she talks about lawyers for petes sake... >.>
It's cold again in Athens. It was remarkably warm for a good three days (everyone broke out the shorts... well not me, I work in a lab). Recruitment weekend for UGA genetics was last weekend and that was rightly stressful (I am only now just recovering). One of my teachers went around telling everyone there how I got the highest grade on the most recent test and really talking me up. It was uber nice of her only... she had my friend Lori and I mixed up. I did not get the highest grade, although I did do well on her part of the test. It was kind of a let down I think. I'm not sure if it was the not getting the high grade or the fact that my teacher doesn't know who I am (there are 9 of us in this course) part which was more depressing.
I'm supposed to be making a king cake for the Neidle Lab. Don't know how well that's going to work but I had best get on it... only a week left after all. The Neidle lab is still a lot of fun. I really like the place and the people there are awesome. (The postdoc said she'd take me back to Louisiana if I wanted to go sometime.... don't really think I can get out of class for that though.) I went to ladies night out at the baptist church in town on Friday with two other people from the lab. I didn't really clue in to the fact that I was going to a baptist church. They spent the evening talking about how all women are beautiful in the eyes of God. (That was ok I guess.) I didn't like the metaphor they used though. They misinterpreted scripture I think. They tried to convince us all that we (women of christianity) are the bride of Christ. He is the only man who can love and fulfill us.... got the whole don't try to love anyone (including your significant other) more than Christ because it just won't work schtick. I believe the what they are referring to are the multitude of references in the bible that say the church is the bride of Christ, not any specific woman. So I sat through an hour of testimony while trying desperately to keep a straight face. I think my favorite part was at the start where the speaker asked us all to close our eyes and imagine the wedding we've been dreaming about since we were little. I hate to disappoint, but I've never fantasized about what my wedding would look like. Aside from knowing that anything involving a church in my life will occur at Saint Pauls, Augusta GA I've never given much thought to it.
Other than that, I'm working through stuff. Been let down recently and trying to figure out how i'll get over it. I'm sure it will pass, these things always do, but for now I'm somewhat angry and rather hurt. C'est la vie right?
I should get back to work. My application for financial assistance is due tomorrow and I need to come up with two pages of text on what I've done so far and why they should bother to continue giving me money.
Oh and for the record? It's annual fund time. I just got a call from good old Agnes. I felt bad so I gave 20. ^^;; Weird being called ma'am by a girl I had classes with just a year ago >.>
