I noticed it's been WAY too long since I posted so here is the update:
I passed my prelims! I'm an official graduate student and the oral exam is over! It was stressful, but I got a new suit jacket out of it that I LOVE (Garrick is such a great husband!) and now it's over! I'm back in the lab working away and not in the library.
I read All the King's Men, which was an excellent book and might be one of my new favorites. I also read The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, which is an awful book that I do not recommend (too dark for me...also too much like a CSI crime show).
I decided to try a pickle (I HATE pickles, but did not ever remember tasting one). I still don't like them. They tasted like vinegar and cucumber, which is all they are, and I think I'll go on giving all my pickles to Garrick!
Garrick convinced me to start using my driver when I golf and I got quite good at the driving range. Next time we go golfing I think I'll actually get 200 yards out of it!
That's all the updates and fun stories! I'll try not to go as long between posts!
Yay your blog is open for posts now :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your official grad studentness. You're brilliant. And you two are so cute! Let's hang out soon. Keep blogging!
You are such a cutie! I am glad Grad school is going well. I too do not like pickles and I can't give them to anyone because Chad does not like them either :)!!!
