Let Your Eyes Girl, Be Other Worldly...

Let us recap September:

-I went to the most BORING wedding ever... nothing says "I Do" like a dry wedding reception where everyone leaves by 8:00 pm.
-Hung out with Bryan while he was home for this wedding.
-Went and saw grams a few times and fed her at lunch.
-I took the GRE on September 11th.
-I got an unsolicited apology from the boy-o.
-I sang my heart out every Thursday night at the Cabin. Apparently singing mostly Fiona Apple means I'm an angry panda... its not my fault all of the sad/angry songs are the only ones in my range.
-September was uncommonly hot. (thank God it immediately got cold on Oct. 1st... no kidding)
-I spent an amazingly horrible weekend at Purdue. Indiana could quite possibly be the most dull state ever. West Lafayette wasn't too bad. Cute little place situated around an enormous campus. I was late for my 3 meetings about the PhD program because the secretary there told me they were an hour behind us (not the truth). Then I spent an hour trying to find the building because apparently no one that works there knows where the liberal arts building is. So, I walked around with two married professor's while they ran errands around campus and chatted about the program. Then, my group decided that they didn't want to attend much of the Org. Comm conference, so I sat in a hotel room and watched CNN for the majority of the weekend. That weekend was about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.
-Got my GRE scores back. Lets just say the only part I should have done well on was the worst part. I apparently am incompetant at writing. I did famously on the math and verbal. I still cant believe I did so poorly on the writing. It almost boggles my mind.
-Celebrated my mom's and aunt's birthday at my siblings on the way home from Purdue.
-Some days I love teaching. Some days I want to ring my students throats for being so F'ing dumb.
-A lot of people are pushing me in the direction of a cute boy in the program. What are the chances of dating two guys named "Bo" in one's lifetime? Honestly, are there really that many guys named Bo?
-Took said cute boy home from the bar the other night (because he rides his bike) and got a handshake. Thats right ladies and gents. A handshake. Nothing like a handshake to kill a girl's self esteem.
-I have a thesis advisor finally! YAY! Wendy Papa is going to help me do my quantitative research on the "Effects of the death of a family member on college achievement" with an intervening variable of social support. So yay for progress on this project.
-Went to Uncle John's Cider Mill on Friday evening with some of the Comm grad students. Good times in the cider mill, winery (complimentary wine tasting... awesome!), and corn maze.
-Went and saw Clinton Kelly from TLC's "What Not To Wear" yesterday at Macy's in Novi. He's pretty "Freakin' Fabulous" which is apparently the title of his unreleased book. Might have to check that out.

Stay tuned for an update after this week... It's going to be a crazy one with the Birthday on Saturday. And yes, of course I've got three days of celebration already planned out. Come on now, its me. Would you expect anything less?
