South-Bound.
Alright. I can breathe.
My first grad school exam is finito, and I think it went just fine. I definitely got a few wrong (nope, not starting my graduate career with an A+), but I feel like it was good. And that doing the reading would’ve been completely unnecessary (…sooo grateful that I only skimmed like 2 chapters/mostly just read the abstracts of the articles and called it a day…and I don’t have to be mad at myself about it). Also managed to get my stuff for lab done today (although I have 4ish hours to make up next week), which was unexpected/making me panic yesterday.
Happy news of the today: Anna and I can get our hair done before the wedding! With the wedding at 10:30am it looked like that wouldn’t be possible, but suddenly it is so HUZZAH! Was feeling a little bummed this morning; my mom called and said that she and my sister were getting manicures/pedicures so she’d pay for me to go get one if I wanted to…but I had NO time today to do so/a way to drive to a salon, etc. I’ve never had a manicure in my life, so it wasn’t high on my priority list, but still. When it’s being paid for it would’ve been sweet to her up on the offer. Anyway…I’m thrilled I won’t have to deal with my hair in the 90+ degree heat of Tennessee. It’s going to be a lonnnnng day and I’d rather not have to be responsible for it.
Ok, and I’m just extremely hair-challenged. Never had a manicure and hair-challenged. Hmm.
Anyway, just got back from a lengthy session at the clinic (attempting to prepare for our diagnostic). Didn’t leave me feeling very confident. So now I’m off to copy lots of pages from the test manual and clean before my parents, Anna, and Adam get here! Anticipate lots of wedding pictures upon my return.
From the last time Anna and I attended a wedding together, 10/13/07, Abby + Jude
Glad the exam went well.
Manicures are fun. Possibly over-rated, though. I’m just not a big fan. And I, too, am hair-challenged. I’m getting it cut on my birthday (my own little present to myself), and I can’t WAIT, because I have no idea what to do with this mess. So, I feel your pain. And in super-heat…ugh.
Cute picture. 10/13/07 was my brother’s wedding date. Random, but still…awwww.
I think I’d feel awkward going to a manicure…because I still bite my nails. Not to like a painful-looking, gross level…but yeah. They’re not really pretty.
Sounds like a good birthday present! I have this bad feeling I may be headed home on your birthday. But if not, I AM SO EXCITED FOR A POTLUCK.
October seems like a good wedding month
I <3 Autumn. I don’t think I could be a bride in 90 degree heat…any professionally applied makeup would melt off me and be worthless…
