Turning Point?

Today looked like it wass to be yet another terrible occurence. My comparative vertebrate morphology exam was much harder then I had hoped... I do not understand why professors feel they must test on the most miniscule details of their lecture when obviously the most important thing is the broad picture. But the grumblings of my peers echoe the same sentiment which means hopefully there will be a good curve.

I have been fretting over the research assisstant position for the past week and a half, assuming that I had not gotten the job since I had heard nothing. I went to talk to Dr. B this morning but he wasn't there to confirm it. What was there however, was a note from someone about taking care of the spiders this morning. I took this to mean that someone else had gotten the job and I spent the rest of the day with tears on the edges of my eyes. I simply abhore potential employers that don't inform applicants that they didn't get the job. Like when Ken wasn't going to tell me about the animal care internship and practically fucked up my whole last summer. So... I was so annoyed that I decided to confront Dr. B about it. I went to his office (secretly hoping he wouldnt be there), but as he was... I asked if he had filled the position. And he looked down at the desk and said that he had just sent me an email... And that I got the job! =) It was quite a pleasant surprise! I'll be working about 5-10 hours a week mostly on tuesday mornings and friday afternoons. 7 dollars an hour. I start friday. I can't even begin to express how delighted this makes me. It won't be tons of money but it will ease things a little as well as give me great experience and a template for my senior honors project. Woohoo! Just call me Spider Woman!

My laptop should be here tomorrow too! =)

Sunshine and huggles! This is the brightest I have felt in quite a while.

ps... I lost my necklace today sometime after German... Part of me wonders if its absence and my good luck is coincidence or not? Perhaps it wass harboring too much negative energy. I'll have to remember to cleanse my jewelry in the future.
