I was a tad depressed and nervous today for school and work to start up again–I told my officemate Carolyn that I felt like a 2nd grader on her first day of school. I had a meeting scheduled with Sally today to discuss the work I did for our chapter over break, and to talk about how we’re going to use part of it in our next grant proposal. She was THRILLED with the work I got done, saying over and over how much it was and how good it was! I found out, also that she wrote me into the Autism Speaks grant she is applying for. I, along with one of her postdocs, are going to be the main people on this…and I am so excited! I hope we get the grant. It’s a really exciting new project!
I headed over to class after my wonderful meeting with wonderful Sally. Of course, I was two hours early, and got a parking spot right away. It was great to see Kyle, David, Abby, and Natalie again. The class seemed great and the professor is a young, smart- and laid-back-seeming type of guy. It’s behavioral genetics. I’m actually pretty excited to start some of this reading.
After class I chatted with my friends, and then we went home, not sure what to do because we’re used to getting out of class late at night! It is now the most perfect type of drizzly, cup of tea day, and I’m sitting at my brand new laptop, sipping on Coffee Bean Winter Dream tea, watching Jo watch the dryer steam fog outside the window.
