Today was a good day. At advising, I felt like I made a difference because a girl from my old high school needed to be peer advised and I helped her decide to pick up another major! She was so grateful and it made me excited to be a teacher and help students decide what they should do.
Then, I went to go get food and this boy I had a crush on last semester started talking to me out of the blue. He said, "I almost didn't recognize you without your blue hair" and we talked and when I sat down to eat, he joined me and we chatted some more. I would have shat if that happened last semester lol. I felt like the situation with him was that he was just not going to say hi to me anymore because we don't have a class together anymore. He is a quiet boy though, and I am surprised he opened up to me like that. He is too late with the whole being attracted to him thing, but I am still happy that he wants to be friends.
I got my research lab all figured out. I experimented with some calcium indicators to take some absorbance samples when I do my lab. The teacher did basically everything, though. He spilled some chemicals and poured chemicals out of a huge container into a tiny tube and was not following procedures, then he told me that I can't put on chapstick in the lab. How hypocritical!
I also decided that I want to declare an art minor. I will enjoy that and also have something a little extra to give. Chemistry and art aren't very related, but it looks good to see that I did an extra thing I didn't have to do in college. Maybe if some principal somewhere likes art, too, then that will interest them and they will just HAVE to hire me to be a chemistry teacher. Who knows? I just have to do it. Why not? I would love to do art in my free time for the rest of my life anyway, so it seems right. I told Laurie from the advising office about it, and she said that it's great that I'm left brained and right brained. It was a cool psychological perspective. I was very flattered.
Greg is coming over to my apartment soon. We've been dating for four months now. I know it's not ACTUALLY a long time, but it is my 2nd longest relationship and definitely the smoothest. It means a lot to me, anyway. Usually my heart gets broken after like two months. I hope we stay together for a long time and be art/musical together and open businesses with funny names where the walls will be covered with my paintings and we own a smart car that only the 2 of us can fit in. I'm being SUPER mushy gushy here, but I can't help thinking about it all the time. I'm a girl, it's my job or something. I'm going to go make some food because I am hungry and he will probably be hungry when he gets here. Gender roles! haha.. not really though because he does my nails.
