well i have been really busy, but no longer stressed, and even though there is a very unhappy thing happening, i am happy.
first off, this is my first night sleeping at home in 4 days. grandma's, cousins', grandma's. my past two weeks at least have been driving between work, will's house, tysons, my grandmother's, my cousins', and the occasional 15 minutes at home to pick stuff up. i have had no alone time. but it's ok, because i've only been around people i love (with the exception of work, but the people there are cool).
speaking of work, i gave my presentation and it went well, better than i expected, and so this research will have benefitted me much more than not. i might just have a really sweet extra rec, i will have my name on a bona fide scientific paper, and i will have meaningful connections in the research world. oh yeah, and i learned stuff.
i go through like, 2 tanks a week. poor mommy, i spend so much of her money.
oh, and my grandma isn't going to get better, just worse, and i am really glad my family is close and there. and seriously, my family is also so much fun. i am grateful, as usual.
hm. is it just me or does it seem like cancer has gotten a lot more common recently?
i am excited about school starting. about fall, everything from sweaters to more physics to football games, to maybe even more rowing, and ok, i admit it, i even miss homework a little bit. i am just not a big big summer person. i like it, but i am a winter person at heart, and i get sick of summer after a month or so.
i have more to say, but i keep forgetting it. i'm tired.
im going to start volunteering at fairfax hospital soon. maybe this week or something? it will be good.
i am starting to feel more in control, and more confident.
and will is, as usual, perfect. it's all good. :)
