An update on a cloudy day

* I have not updated in SEVERAL months so I guess I should. I mean, what else is there to do when you have a headache and aren't going to class? School is the best it has been in a long time. It's hard but good. I have finally learned how to study and have not been one of the smartest people in a class (thank you, cognitive). I have also learned how to stand out among classmates and have my professors like me. I learned all about graduate school and went through a period of anxiety and then a period of action. I have finally written a lab paper where I actually knew what the hell was going on:) So yeah, School is good, and I consider myself lucky to know what I want to do for the rest of my life but unlucky that I have chosen something I have to get a PhD that is seems damn near impossible to get.
* Bob and I are still together. We celebrated our three year anniversary this Saturday (it was actually Sunday, but you can't really compete with Jesus's day). It was flawless. Perfect date. We just went to dinner and talked. Although we're together alot, we don't really just talk, so that was nice. He pretty much makes me happy and drives me crazy all at the same time so things are normal and good:) Bob has been busy this year. He's been doing well in school. He got a summer research position and an internship at a general practice in Jasper, which is exciting. Up next is the MCAT and getting into med school which will be stressful as hell. woo hoo... In this same vein I guess is I found out via Facebook that "my first love" is getting married this summer. It was kind of upsetting, but I suprisingly got over it really quickly. I guess that's what moving on is...
* As far as family stuff goes, mom and dad are still the same. My parents are still trying to move. What they don't know is I put a voodoo curse on our house:) Not really. But I like my house with all my memories. I don't want to sell it! Either way I'll deal, but I can't help but secretly hope that our steep driveway scares buyers away. Will is still Will. As infuriating as ever. It's hard having him here at school. I just wanna kick him in the head sometimes. He's so mean sometimes, but I always bail him out when he needs it. I guess I'm waiting for a miricle one day or something:)He does have glimmers of hope ever once in a while.
* Cool stuff in my life is the fact that 1. I am a Rho Gamma! Which means no singing or snapping for me!!!!!!!!! It also means I get to be involved with the orientation stuff which will be fun. I'm excited about it. 2. I got a summer internship at the UAB Sparks Clinic. The Sparks Clinic is theis neuropsychology clinic which is where the MDs send cases when they can't figure out what to do with a patient and various othe psychological treatments. The summer program helps ADHD/Aspergers kids deal with their behavior through other ways besides medication. It's kind of a big deal because the guy who heads it up could write me a kick ass letter of rec to get into grad school if I do well this summer. So yeah, I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I guess that's all I got right now. Maybe I'll come up with something really thought provoking soon and post it up here.
