Ch- Ch- Ch- Changes

Well, things are changing. Call me fickle, but I guess that's just part of my perogative, being a woman and all. I'm no longer really pursuing the whole forensics thing (although it still seems incredibly interesting to me, and I will probably always enjoy reading about/watching programs about forensic investigations). I had applied with the TBI early in April...six weeks later, I found out just how unlikely their hiring of me would be.

If you're wondering what I am planning on doing, well, I am looking into something. If you really care, you can ask me. I feel kind of funny about posting it on the internet, like it would jinx it or something (not that I actually believe in that). I feel like I have a tendency to jump to the next project/job/whatever, but I'm praying that in this process that I'll be going through over the next few months will provide me with some input from other people as to whether my idea is crazy or not. That's not to say that I'm easily swayed by what other people say, but I look for confirmation (or not) for something that I'm thinking in the comments they make.

On a different topic, I had a blast playing softball last night with the Calvary women's team. We may not have scored many runs, but we had fun out there. I was so excited that I actually got on base both times I got up to bat. I wish I was more familiar with playing softball, but I guess it'll be a learning experience for me to play a sport I'm new to. It's fun playing a team sport, too! Sure, there's a track team, but you don't have to work together like a softball team. Come check out our games next Tuesday at 7:20 and 8:25 and watch us represent for the CBC!

Back, and better than ever!

Well, I've awoken from my slumber (and graded papers for the last time in the foreseeable future). I received an incredibly sweet email from one of my students from this semester. It is so rewarding to know that someone is really appreciative. I guess it sort of gave me a feeling that I made a difference, even if it was small.

Running on fumes

Yes, I certainly am.

I went to the Women's Adventure Social last night at the Climbing Center off of Sutherland Ave. It was my first time rock climbing (wall climbing) and I loved it! I actually got to the top of the wall several times (yeah, it was the easy wall, but for someone with a fear of unprotected heights - and you can't get much less protected than that - it was definately an accomplishment). I made the most of our three hours there, and I am feeling the pain today. With every letter I type, I can feel it in my forearms/fingers, bi's and tri's, shoulders, and back. I think my foot is even a little sore from pushing off of the holds so much.

I think maybe I'm sore today (not only because I haven't worked out in a while...a very long while, but) because I haven't been to bed yet. I just completed my final final (not a typo) on chemical applications of group theory. Yes, it is just as much fun as it sounds. And I had sort of neglected to go to class for the last month of the semester, so I had to learn all that material in about 12 hours. You may call it cramming, but I believe I'll retain it. I shall find out tomorrow how successful I was.

I'm now going home to crash. If you miss me at church tonight, it's because I'm in the bed, and will be till morning comes. Then it's back to campus by 10 am to grade some other poor fool's final. Ah, the joys of teaching!
