I think sometimes you can feel the rhythm of everything falling into place.  Maybe it’s just the sound of the rain hitting my window, but I’m sure I can hear the beat of a thousand different things, all waiting for me, slowly, but surely.

What?  An optimistic post? Let’s go!

So, I know in the past I’ve been a bit of a debbie downer, but I guess the end of this term has got the best of me. Don’t get me wrong…the worst isn’t even over yet.  I still have an exam, a quiz, and that twenty page paper to finish (within a week!) But the point is, is that I can see the end! That’s all it takes.

And plus, there’s more good news to be shared: I got the unpaid internship I applied for.  And don’t go thinking it’s just some job in a lab with me cleaning test tubes all day long, no no! It’s actually a pretty swanky gig at UMASS Medical….I’m gonna get to work with some pretty stellar scientist on advanced drug delivery systems! Basically, putting nano particles, vaccines, and gene therapy into pill form. Cool right? And did I mention I will be working in the vicinity of a Nobel Prize laureate? Yep. That’s right.

Now maybe you are wondering how I will get to said job? Well, I got that 2007 Toyota Prius I mentioned before! It’s the nicest shade of green…I’ll be sure to post a picture on facebook sometime. This past weekend I practiced driving for almost seven hours and it’s not over yet! When I get home next week, I’m gonna take intensive classes, get my pre-licensing class thing done, and then KA-POW! Take my test. Hope it all goes smoothly.

Today, I had another job interview…only this time it was for something a little bit different. I’m trying to get a part time job a Shaw’s (a super market, for those who don’t know) to make the moneys to fund my newest and greatest project! (more on this later) I think the interview went pretty well, and I guess the lady interviewing me did, too, so I’m scheduled for a second round of interviewing on Thursday.  I just can’t wait for this to all be over!

So my newest and greatest and fun-est new great project! Hmmm…on second thought, maybe I should just keep it a surprise for now?  Haha….I think I will.

Just thinking about it gets me feeling all excited and happy!
