work
I'm at work and seriously bored out of my mind...weighing out TB comps over and over and over. I'm still looking for my 'home'. I've applied to three counties and haven't heard back from any of them and its driving me crazy. I need a job, some path to start down, something concrete to look forward to. I feel like I'm leaning over a precipice and can't take a leap until I know where I'm going to fall.
Graduation was beautiful. The speaker for chem and life sciences was a total stitch. He started out by saying that our dean had already lost his audience by reading, verbatim from the graduation booklet, his bio. He then went on to say that he couldn't remember his graduation speaker or what they said so he figured he couldn't do much damage. Many allusions to Calvin and Hobbs and a few yellow campus parking tickets got the audience's attention. He kept us laughing and managed to sneak in a message that we're all going to be ok and not to worry about the 'perfect career path' but to feel free to take that leap.
I actually got to sit front row center for the graduation because chem finally didn't get the shaft so we got to walk out first. My chem dept head waited for me after graduation to give me a hug and wish me good luck. I'm going to miss my chem people and the best of the profs (a few I'm glad to be rid of).
Funny thing, I finally got a 4.0 my last semester at the university ;) Which brings my GPA up to a 2.966, yeah I know...organic was hard (and so was my sophomore year...I've been playing catch-up since spring 2003).
Alrighty, back to work and weighing half mgs for the rest of the afternoon.
