How things are going...





This week (although extremely busy) has been actually pretty good. I have been pretty productive. I have been working on homework, making contacts, holding meetings, making appointments, and writing lots of emails. I have made time for things this week.

I talked to my mentor for the first time on Monday. Wendy is such a great gal. She reminds me of my best friend Angela. Angela is a little older than me and I consider her one of my closest friends and mentors. She has a way of talking that just makes you feel comfortable whether it is over the phone, face-to-face or in an email. That's kinda how Wendy is! I noticed that although she is really busy, she will take the time out to REALLY listen to me talk about anything. The only thing I have to watch is how much I end up talking as compared to her! I can sometimes get carried away and forget to ask questions of the person I am talking to.

I am even getting into Goodyear this week to get my tires changed on my car! Thats a miracle! I thought for sure that would be something that would be put off until spring break. I tend to suprise myself everyday I think. I went in to talk to Janell (Apprentice Program Coordinator) the other day and was suprised at how good I felt when I came out of our meeting. I was just so comfortable during the meeting. I think it's her office~ She's got some good Feng Shui goin on in there!

Ahhh, yes... I love the Feng Shui! I am so in touch with spaces that feel comfortable and "homey". Take for example my house... We (Michael and I) have a fish tank, several plants, and warm colors we use for decoration. The fish tank is a 20-gallon tank that trickles lightly in the background and is located in the main room. Ahhh, just thinking of home makes me wanna get away from these flourescent lights at school and into my PJ's. Janells office always has nice lighting (incandescent), quiet music and is painted the most lovely green color (a soothing, natural color).

Ok, ok, so Im getting carried away here- But you get the picture- I have made time this week for things to get done, and time for relaxation and rejuvenation! Life is good!
Anyway, Ill sign off. I have an hour before I can close up the lab and get home to my comfy couches and tail-wagging boyfr... I mean dog!
