The past week

I am really not sure if anyone is reading my blog any more, but in the case this will be read by one person, here is an update on the exciting/busy last week of my life:

-Tuesday I passed my comprehensive exam (long, oral exam with my committee members). I had been dreading this exam since starting my degree, so although I did not do stellar on it, I passed and am really happy to have it over with.

-After a long day of rating diseased plants and a frustrating morning of juggling appointments (in one case the service person did not show up to work therefore I had to wait an extra 45 minutes) and running errands, on Thursday I arrived at a friends place to help out with some wedding preparations the following day.

-On Friday, I was a small part of a good friends wedding. It was an emotional day. It was mostly tears of joy.

-On Saturday, my little brother proposed to his girlfriend. This was also another emotional day and again it was mostly tears of joy. I was sad I could not be at home to celebrate with my family and their friends. I am most excited that I am going to have a sister. I have wanted one ever since my brother was born. I actually tried to make him into a girl by putting dresses and makeup on him when we were little, but it didn't seem to work.

I am hoping for a couple of dull weeks so I can get caught up on some lab work, some friendships I have been neglecting and some baking for my poor bf who has gotten even a little skinnier since I started studying for my comprehensive.
