Magic Dust?

Well, got my O-fficial letter of acceptance from University of Wisconsin. Frankly, I'm pretty amazed. They are offering more money than U of Georgia, which was generous to begin with. I just didn't think I was THAT competitive. But hey, I've worked my ass off for years (excluding perhaps grade school), and perhaps finally it will all really be worth the hard work. I don't think it's quite hit me how great it all is. I mean, I have still have to interview at some places, but my top school--that pillar of microbiology departments, one of the highest rated in the nation--has already accepted me. I just have to figure out what questions I want to ask, and prepare for some recruitment wooing. For now, I like Wisconsin the best. I mean, great program, most money, awesome city full of beer, cheese, thai food, and LIBERALS & PROGRESSIVES A' PLENTY! I spend alot of time playing house, imagining what it would be like to have an apartment again, only this time I have someone to come home to, and a real job that will pay real money. I imagine spending time finding a favorite place to drink, instead of praying Extreme won't be too loud or crowded; I dream of getting Thai food as takeout, and watching movies in my very own living room. .. . . *sigh*

Has anyone seen the commercials where folks explain why they love chocolate? It's like listening to an AA meeting. . . chocolate is indeed a drug.

If I ever got really bored, I'd make a bumper sticker that said "If Mary was pro-choice she would have the right to choose to raise the son of God. Pro-choice does not mean Pro-death. Jesus would still be here you stupid bible freaks."

Ok, so it's a little long. It was in response to some lady's bumper sticker which read "If Mary was Pro-choice, there wouldn't be a Christmas." Which is just incorrect. If Mary was pro-choice, she would support any woman's right to choose pregnancy or abortion, that's what Pro-choice means. Besides the fact that it is insulting to assume that the very mother of your savior would abort him if she had the chance. . .

Ok! done yelling about that!
