it's the end of the year as we know it...

Today is Saturday and I am finally done with exams. The meeting I mentioned in my last post went well. It was with our department head about the possibility of doing research this summer. I'm going to be working with her team at the AMRL for the summer, mostly being trained for all the different stuff they do, then I'll get to work on a real project starting in the fall. So that's cool cause I'll have something for the next year. It's work with glass, which is cool, so yay! I have a few days to chill until I start working on Thursday. That'll be nice to have a break. This picture is of a cake Olivia and I made the other day. We wanted both frostings, so it looks like a life preserver.Exams went pretty well. I thankfully got a C in Dr. Rack's class (before anyone gets the wrong idea, it was one of those classes where you'd be pretty lucky to pass), don't really know my grades in the other classes yet. A in two of them so far. The week was annoying as I didn't have much to do until Tuesday. Tuesday I studied all morning then went out to the labs to visit and meet everyone. I came back and went to dinner with Olivia and Paul.I was trying to hid the fact that I was chewing in that picture. I gave up on studying at around 9:30, then went downstairs to hang out. Went to bed at 11 and got up at 3 am to go to the library with Paul to study and to visit Matt, who had announced (in a really really hyper way) that he was pulling an all-nighter. I studied quite hard, and (around 5 am) found that I started to understand the way Dr. Rack's mind works. Took the final and headed home to shower and relax for a while. Dad came up and took me for a drive in the car that evening, then I went over to the guys' to hang out for Marsh and Kevin's last night in Clemson. Rather amusing evening. Lots of dancing. Oh, and Baldo found a break-up box in the closet from like 5 years ago or something. Pretty crazy letter in it. Kinda fun. Thursday I went to work. BD gave me this picture. Aren't I cute?!? Went to Target. Hung out with Julie and Rachel for a while. Went to see Spiderman 3 at midnight and it was awesome!
Friday I went to work, then did some speech studying with the freshman. Then it was dinner and Elton John with Julie. Yes, we are old ladies. We went to see Sir EJ in concert. It was awesome. He's adorable. I've been listening to his music since then. woooooo!
Got up this morning and got coffee and a muffin before I went over to the Paul's to do a marathon review for the speech final that we had at 1 this afternoon. We ran some errands and ate some lunch after it, then I came over here to Julie's where we watched ANTM, then went to Bloom. Now we're watching tv (How to lose a guy in 10 days, TMNT, X-Men, Lord of the Rings...) and eating bread and chips and queso and frosting and I might go make some tea in a minute. Chai. We are basically being total bums for the evening. We're having a slumber party. Her brother left today for Iraq for the next year and a half or so. I'll probably get up in the morning and take a shower at home before I go to church with Julie. After that, I'll be packing up some stuff to take home for the summer. I'll be living in Clemson for the summer but I need to take stuff home to get it out of the way. I'll probably stay home until Tuesday morning when I'll pack up mom's bike in my car and bring it back here. Gonna go eat queso...
Laters!
