I’ve heard that after I graduate, I won’t remember how tired I was during school. I’ve heard that I will not even remember which test I got an 88% on or even which test I got a 67% on. Someone even told me that my grade point average will not matter too much when looking for [...]

Mr. I.T. Man: So, is your husband buying you roses today?
My Boss: Roses? For Yom Kippur??
Her: You could make a living doing that!

Lately, I’ve been surprised by what has grown out of my past experiences. Especially those that were emotionally trying or even disturbing. It’s like all those rotten things, the angry things, the hurts and disappointments were stored in me somewhere, being broken down by the microbes of time and now beautiful things are growing in [...]

I am a good deal older than many of the people I’m in school with these days. Some of them think that my age gives me wisdom and perspective. This both flatters and amuses me. I love to listen to them talk about what’s going on in their lives, but sometimes…sometimes I just sit in [...]

I’m posting instead.
Usually Tuesdays are crazy, overwhelming days, but today was an exception. I had fun (fun?) studying for a test and even more fun in biochemistry lab. The people in my lab group are enjoyable to work with. That makes for an easy three hours of protein purification!
Today I had time to write a [...]

I slept better last night than I have in years. I’m sure that is part of what made today feel like a great day. Some homework was completed, some bills were paid on time. There is much left undone, but I know it will be completed soon.

Today I had the chance to say I’m sorry. And I’m glad to have had it. And I haven’t stopped smiling since.

Today I smiled so much, my cheeks hurt. Today I led a meeting and it almost ended on time. Today I paid attention in class. Today I drew pictures of parasites.
