HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!
Ok, freakout is over. But, seriously...it is the middle of April and it is still snowing up here...thankfully it wasn't much of a dumping, just enough to make us all break out at least a few layers if we just couldn't make ourselves bust out the coats again.
I know...I know...I know............I...know... I'm way over due for a posting. I do apologize. TIGS, y'all, TIGS.
BUT! I found out this week that I received a little fellowship/grant that I had applied for earlier in the semester, which means that my trip to the Southwestern Research Station this summer is definitely a go (which is a good thing, since they already accepted me for a two week course, yippee!!!)!
Things on the grad school front have been, more than cRaZy...wow, how does one even describe...?
I definitely don't have the mental power to try and put it eloquently, so, here's the reader's digest version:
- It's crazy
- I often wonder why I ever thought this was a good idea
- It is no longer unusual for me to be in the lab until 10pm or later...
- Dinner? What's that?
- Sleep? I don't think you know how to speak English...
- Showers? Overrated...definitely
- What? You find it odd that the majority of us have taken up long distance running and do this at least every other day? I told you things are crazy here...that includes the people
- Wait...you mean to tell me that you do not often tell someone about something that happened to you this morning only to realize a few minutes later that you just told them about yesterday's morning...? Hmmm...you must not be from around here.
- What's a weekend? Again, I'm not so positive we're speaking the same language.
Anywho, things really are going well, just beyond busy.
My church is such an incredible blessing - solid teaching, solid people who truly try to live out their faith and hold one another accountable in love, beautiful small groups (mine's the best, of course...!) - the Father is definitely glorified here :)
OK, kiddies...now that you all know that I am still alive and breathing, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is a running day! =)
Shalom!
