there's never a wish better than this / when you only got 100 years to live
omg, it is like you are getting a million entries this week. It will make up for slow weeks. It has just been such a strange week. I just went to go use the AFM and my labmate was using it. He does use it about the same amount as me, so I wasn’t surprised or annoyed. I am now totally resigned to this week (1) not going as planned and (2) to have no resemblance to usual weeks. After going and going so much, it is weird to find myself with these little pockets of free time.
This morning I was downtown (at the University of Chicago) for a meeting. UIC is a school with a lot of science history. It is interesting.
I gave a report to the regional committee of an organization (AVS) that I am vp of the student chapter. I am the mouthpiece. Anyways, it is another beautiful day in chicago. mid 30s, blue sky as far as one can see. The lake is a glittering green. I had the distinct pleasure of driving amongst and admiring the big buildings of downtown against the blue sky. I couldn’t resisting sending ben’s phone a message about the beauty of it all and how we should spend more time downtown. Ben is a big fan of downtown also.
He is also as big fan of the cubs. I didn’t write last week, so I must now mention how excited the boy was that the cubs signed(?) Maddox. I have a feeling that I am going to be a baseball widow (or whatever the term is for a g/f). it is amazing what life takes you to. Though I guess I have to say that Carter broke me in on the baseball obsession.
I ended up getting really lost last night – I went a new way to church and was too late. Instead I got sushi (and had this random experience of sitting at the bar and the waiter trying to make me and the guy next to me “together”.) I also made it to ben’s in time for west wing. I love allison janey (sp?). I also love CJ the character. I tell people all the time that I want to be CJ when I grow up…not the wh press sec, but tall and beautiful.
Ah, thrusday afternoon, my afternoon of class. I have it until 5:30ish. I am in such a strange state. Edgey, but not, antsy, but not. Happy, definitely. I am so content with my life right now. I think that might be it. I have spent much of my recent life looking for something. Now I am no longer looking (for the moment at least). My life appears to not be changing for the foreseeable future. I like it, but it still makes me antsy. My romantic life has always had the possibility of changing my life. Now it has, and I am now settled in my changed life, and don’t want that to change. Anyways, I know I am not being v. eloquent, but I hope you get my gist.
