Accepted!

Yay! ASU JUST sent an email to me 25 minutes ago saying that I am accepted to the Master's Program! What a relief.

So far today has been a good day. I think I did pretty good on the final physics test, at least I feel pretty confident which is all I really care about. I did my best and if I get a C so be it. I am also getting antibiotics! The doctors office in Mesa said that they called in the prescription so I don't have to feel sick anymore! I feel so happy right now!

All I really have left to do this semester is write my German paper, write my genomics paper, do some reading for genomics and go to graduation!

Wasting time like always....

I am so distracted right now. It is snowing, and I am supposed to be studying for my Physics test. But I get so distracted by cars and people and snow blowing out my window which is right next to my desk. So, I am trying to get rid of all my nervous bored energy by typing this blog, which takes very little of my brain power.

Blah, Last Friday I felt sick so I had Rudy drive me to Phoenix and I seemed to get a little bit better, but now I think I have a sinus infection. It seems like whenever I am stressed or my allergies act up, I get a sinus infection. I called my doctor in Mesa to see if she would prescribe some antibiotics for me, but they probably won't get in until tomorrow evening at the earliest.

I can't can't can't believe next week is reading week. And I still haven't heard back from ASU which is starting to scare me a little. If I haven't heard from them after graduation I will definitely write them an email.

MUSE!

I am going to see MUSE tomorrow! Yay! Not much else has been going on really. It kind of feels like everything is slowly winding down which is kind of nice because I don't have tons of homework and get to spend more time with Rudy. But I also know that as soon as I let my guard down and take time to zone out and totally relax, my capstone teacher will finally give us the prompt to our final research paper and my German Professorin will give us the prompt to the final paper and I will eventually have to muster up some sickly/wimpy/pathetic math/physics understanding brain cells (that don't really exist in actuality) to pull off a decent grade for the last Physics test so that I can graduate.

Also this year was the weirdest Easter ever. Well compared to last year this year wasn't looking very promising because compared to being in Germany, being back in Gilbert with the family wasn't looking to be as epic, but this year everyone was sick. On Friday my brother was shooting film for his movie which was very stressful because there were like 20 people in our house with tons of cameras and lights and gaff tape so I couldn't even really settle in and relax.
And I don't even remember Saturday I remember not feeling well and sleeping for like half of the day. And Sunday we didn't go to church. On Easter. It was so bizarre. And then we didn't have a nice family lunch. We had leftover sloppy joes from the film shoot at like 2pm. So weird. Oh well. Next year will be better.

Procrastination!!!

Another case of senioritis! I really need to be working or studying or writing that is due tomorrow. Oh well, I need a blog break! Jenika, Maddie and I sang in church for Maundy Thursday and I think we sounded very nice. Sometimes it makes me want to give up this sciency life for singing. But I doubt that I would ever be a successful music anything.

Last weekend all of my family except me pretty much met in New Mexico and had a family reunion type thing. Well I guess my aunt who is currently a junior high social studies teacher was telling my mom not to let me become a teacher and so my mom got so frustrated with her that that she called me and made my aunt speak to me.

It was very disheartening. And I can see her point, I guess they refuse to hire teachers with masters degrees in her school district and that they will only hire new teachers for 3 years and fire them before they get tenure. But she lives in a tiny farm town in Minnesota which is waaaaay different from fastest growing city in the nation Gilbert(maybe its not anymore but it used to be). And I do expect that I will run into issues and I am fine with moving around while I am still young, but I am not going to change my mind now. I can't. I feel this is the right thing. And every job has its difficulties. I am sad that my aunt is not supportive of me in this endeavor but I guess I am not as close to her and my uncle so I guess I don't care.

In other news I was inducted into German Honor society woot. I will get to wear shiny gold tassels at graduation. yay!
