Graduated, I guess

Well, so, I'm now officially an alumna of Scripps College. It's really quite weird. Hasn't sunk in completely that I won't be going back. Even though I'm here in the Bay Area trying to figure out what the next step is. Applying for jobs at any number of research places. Hoping that one of them will agree with Alan and Stacey and think that I'm a wonderful neuroscientist. We'll see. It's kind of a weird state of being, knowing that I've graduated and now won't be back for classes, dining halls, white walls and red roofs... it's strange the things you miss. And I've only been gone a week. Ah well. I suppose everyone has to move on at some point, and it's my time.

Been dancing up here, it's weird, the leads seem to have funny habits, that I wouldn't have thought they would, since it's always been drilled into me from a very basic level that you keep your shoulders parallel to your partner as much as possible to maintain that connection that you have. And it's weird when I'm dancing with someone and that connection suddenly dies because he pulls his shoulders away. But, I suppose I'll have to get used to it. Or at least figure out who the leads are who don't do that, and dance with them. :)

One advantage to being graduated is that I get to read novels. :) One completely finished, another over half finished in the last four days. Not too bad. Plus, I've been applying for jobs. And doing fun things with Sandor. Went and saw The Da Vinci Code yesterday. It was interesting. I can see why the purists are up in arms. But it definitely wasn't horrible like the reviews said it would be. Just, different. There was also a beautiful sunset yesterday as we drove back from the theatre. I wish I had had my camera with me. Then I could share it with you. But, you'll just have to imagine fog on the hill sides and brilliant gold and orange clouds in the sky. It was amazing. Anyway, off to do more fun things. :)
