1st Entry
So this is what all the cool kids are doing these days? At first this whole concept seemed sort of conceited to me, let me write all about myself so that everyone can know how cool I am. Now that I have surfed this site and a few of my friends posts, I am beginning to see why everyone is doing it. Provides a good outlet for thoughts running through your head and some people actually care and respond to them. Plus if I wonder how a friends day went, I can look up their journal entry and check it out. Pretty neat. Well enough babbling about that, obviously you already think this is cool if you are reading this...
So how was my day today? Stressful in fact. I have no idea why because I like giving talks but this afternoon I had to give a 20 minute talk on my research. Just to add more pressure to myself, I made a special invitation to my advisor. Talk went really well I thought- I got a ton of questions at the end of it. It especially went well because the presenter after me did her talk in like half the time alloted. I felt bad because then she got hammered with questions for like 20 minutes...
Went over to my labmates house to show her how to use a database to analyze data we have from a huge project. We were at her house because she was waiting for her brand new ipod to show up. She was so happy when it came. It got me thinking about buying a mini ipod for Rachel's birthday- it would be perfect for her marathon! Then I remembered that Rachel never wants technological things for her birthday, only clothes! Despite how awesome I think it will be, I must resist. Shoes, that is what she loves, that is what she is getting. New ones for her marathon.
Bible study tonight was great- supposed to be reading The Passion book, but instead I have got to talk about these guys lives. I think that I have a pretty great group of guys. Even though I sometimes see them doing stupid stuff, they are no where even close to how stupid I was...
I guess that I am getting into this journal thing... I could go on and on. But I won't.
Time for bed...
