In Auburn
Listening to... my mom play Fur Elise
Feeling... good

Well, I've been a bad girl and haven't even thought about my blog this week. I'm at home on a slow computer though, so I should be forgiven. This has been a week of good news. I got an A in Inorganic Chemistry and the lab. I was completely shocked, I barely let myself hope for that. I also got the lab job (Kanfer and Ackerman's) for which I did let myself hope. Yay!!! This is all very exciting.

Also very exciting is I saw my older sister graduate from Auburn on Monday. I watched all of the PhD students (not including her) get their academic "hoods" put on by their dean. I got a warm/happy feeling about it, I'm very psyched about grad school now. I just hope I can get through it without feeling disillusioned. This guy who knew the counselors this summer and was an ME grad student was talking about not walking at his master's ceremony. I remarked on how much work goes into it, and how he should walk and he replied "It depends on how disillusioned you feel once the degree is done." Hmm...

I'm also almost done with my last Jane Austen book-- Sense and Sensibility. It isn't my favorite, but it's good. I guess that's all the updates I can think of.
