Not too far off... I'm not as liberal as the quiz claims (yes, I've been known to vote for the occasional conservative candidate). And the description of my "date match" isn't too far off -- those are some of the qualities I see in Eric, so there must be something right here! haha

In a mood...
Mood:
 down
Now Playing: The Daily Show
I'm in a mood today... not sure what it is, but it basically feels like I'm in a funk. I don't know if it's because I didn't get as much sleep as I should've last night, or the fact that I just spent about 13 hours at school, or a combination of those two. This is one of those moods where little things get to me & irritate me, too, which isn't exactly a good thing. But all in all, I'm just not happy with how things are right now in my life. I'm sick of my apartment & can't wait to move, but I can't until the middle of August. I'm getting sick of my classes this semester, but at least those will be done in a month. I had a frustrating day in the lab today, too. I did three surgeries & it didn't seem like they really went that well. I mean, none of the rats died on me, but it just didn't feel like the surgeries went as smoothly as they have before. Oh well, I've got three more to do tomorrow, so hopefully those will go better (& quicker -- I really need to get my surgery time down... I'm hoping to get down to about 30-40 minutes, & right now I'm averaging about an hour per surgery). And to top this off, I'm really missing Eric. He's coming to visit me for a few days starting on Wednesday, but it's just not soon enough. I could definitely use some cuddle time right now. I can't wait till we're both done w/ grad school & can finally be together again... 3 more years, 3 more years...
Well, I think it's about time I got ready for bed... gotta get up early & do some more surgeries... *sigh*

Mary Kay -- it's the new black!
Mood:
 lazy
Now Playing: Letterman
So apparently all the cool kids are becoming Mary Kay consultants. Seeing as how I'm always at least 1 trend behind everyone else, I'll just be a consumer for the time being. My friend Jody recently became a consultant, & I just received an email f/ my friend Jayme wanting to be my personal consultant. What to do? (Jody, if you're reading this, I LOVE the Satin Hands set -- I'm really starting to notice a difference! Has the Satin Lips set come in yet?).
In other news, I've successfully performed four brain surgeries this week all on my own, & I'm planning on doing another two tomorrow. Now we'll have to see if I actually hit the hypothalamus...
I've also started looking for a new apartment. I'm locked into my current lease until mid-August, but I have to decide by the end of April if I want to stay in my current apartment or not (which I'm not really excited about...). I've found a couple promising places, one of which I might be sharing a 2-BR with one of my friends who's in my same grad program. We've been hanging out a lot this year & I think we'd be able to live together w/o any problems. I'll keep y'all posted.
Ok, I'd better get ready for bed -- I've got a long day ahead of me tomorrow...

How I Spent My Spring Break
Mood:
lazy
Now Playing: Red Green Show
Wow, what a great week -- but I wish I could have another one!
While I didn't go to the beach for Spring Break (well, I kinda did -- but the majority of my conference in Florida was chilly &/or rainy, except for the day I left, of course!), but I did get to spend some time with the people that mean the most to me: my family and Eric & his family. The first day of spring break began with lunch out with my parents, my brother Matt, & his fiance Holly at the restaurant where we'll be having the rehearsal dinner, then Mom & I went antiquing. Monday was spent relaxing -- something I haven't been able to do in a loooong time. Tuesday was fun -- Mom & I went shopping with Holly. She is such a sweetheart & SO much fun to be around. Matt has certainly found a real gem! On Wednesday I headed up to Michigan to spend the rest of the week with Eric. On Thursday we went on a date (yay!) -- sushi for lunch & then we saw "Sideways". Thursday evening was a much needed 'girls night' w/ some of my favorite KD sisters f/ Albion. Eric & I went shopping on Friday for a wedding gift for Matt & Holly. On Saturday Eric's sister came home & we had a fabulous Easter dinner with his parents, sister, & Aunt Ann. All of us gals spent some time gabbing after dinner while Eric & his dad watched the basketball games. And then today we went to church (standing room only!) & had a HUGE brunch afterwards (yum yum!). Then I headed back to Kent this afternoon to get ready for another week of classes.
Here's something fun & random -- I received an email from my old college roommate that I hadn't heard from in nearly a year! For those of you who know Suz, she's back up in the U.P. & she's doing well. :-)
Well, I'd better get my stuff unpacked & get things organized around here.
Till next time...
<3,
Amber :-)

 | You scored as Christianity. Your views are most similar to those of Christianity. Do more research on Christianity and possibly consider being baptized and accepting Jesus, if you aren't already Christian.
Christianity is the second of the Abrahamic faiths; it follows Judaism and is followed by Islam. It differs in its belief of Jesus, as not a prophet nor historical figure, but as God in human form. The Holy Trinity is the concept that God takes three forms: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost (sometimes called Holy Spirit). Jesus taught the idea of instead of seeking revenge, one should love his or her neighbors and enemies. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to save humankind and forgive people's sins.

Adventures in car repair, and other tales from grad school...
Mood:
 not sure
Now Playing: CSI Miami
So what was supposed to be a 15-20 minute job changing my alternator this weekend turned into a 2 day ordeal. To the engineers that designed the Chevy Cavalier -- did you even think about where you were putting the alternator before you placed it in the most inconvenient place possible? grrr... Oh well, it's all back together now, & Dad took it home with him to make sure it doesn't act up over the next week or so.
In other news, I believe this is going to be the week from hell. First of all, I have a TON of reading to do this week (some will get pushed aside based on priority -- sorry Social Psych...). I also have 2 presentations this week -- one is tomorrow in our Animal Cognition journal club & the other is for my Biopsych seminar on Thursday. And then I have an outpatient surgery scheduled for early Friday morning, for which I had to get blood work done today (not a pleasant experience, esp. since it took 3 tries to get a vein... ouch!). And finally, we've got some random lab stuff happening to fill in my spare time (ha!).
So that's gonna be my week in a nutshell... wish me luck!
I'll write more when the madness is over...
<3,
Amber :-)
