I found maturity in the form of a beagle named louie. He is about 3-4 months old, a sweet dog that wakes me up every morning at 5 am to take a piss or just because he needs something warm to sleep next too. Every morning i check his poop for worms, and feed him the best food I can afford. I count the clock every day and worry, that he he hasnt torn up the liner in his bed, pissed off the neighbors or ate his way out of his cage. I watch what he eats and take him to the doctor when he has found his way into my edible pepto-bismal tablets. And when the day ends his head always finds my tummy, where he falls to sleep and dreams of dreams that only puppies dream.
Today i filled out my application for graduation, and yesterday i recieved a phone call from Patricia Baldewicz the graduate school coordinator for the University of Arizona and said I had written a very noble personal statement and that she seceretly wishes I get accepted. I applied to Arizona with no real intention of going, I just thought it would be fun if I did get accepted. But I have already made an emotional investment, and I will be devistated if I didnt get accepted. But lets be honest i wouldnt accept me, and I have already found a professor here at Texas A&M that really wants me to work in his lab, the only problem is he wants me to work on an insect that is in a middle of an evolutionary smoking gun, known as a host plant switch, will i want to study population genetics of the invasive ant that is becoming more and more of a problem.....Such is life anyways ill see you all sooon.....well maybe.
