fiarra | whatever tomorrow brings i'll be there

So.. drove up to Nahant this morning. I am.. cautiously optimistic. =X I chatted a lot. Most intimidating part of the day is when he pulls out a COPY OF THE PAPER MY NAME IS ON FROM WOODS HOLE. Like.. physical copy. So we talked a lot about my work there. (I totally stared at that paper for like an hour last night so I could remember everything we'd done). His grad student is really nice. She's only been there for Spring semester, but she definitely seemed to like it and based on Recruitment Weekend, everyone is really nice. I love how it seems like a little community. Talked to one of the other faculty as well, I'd talked to him last time. He told me about a molecular ecology class he's teaching that sounds really interesting. I've always kinda liked genetics.. but not really enough to want to specialize in it. xD

So... yeah. I think it went well. *crosses fingers* I should know.. hopefully by the end of the week as I think most places need decisions by the 15th anyway. Ahhhh I don't know how I'm going to make it till then. I'm trying SO HARD to not totally freak out and think it's okay... especially after the UNC thing. But I can't help but feel that it did go well and that I have a solid chance. I mean... it must mean *something* that he asked me to come back, right? We didn't get a chance to talk when I was there in February and he took the time to make sure we could.

*fidgets* omg so nervous! I already send an email thanking him for the chance to talk. :) Polite = win.

Although it's sooo gross out now. Driving back on the Mass Pike, half-asleep since I woke up at 630, in the pouring rain is just not something I want to repeat. Hydroplaning is not cool!

I think I'll watch the first ep of the new FMA tonight as a reward.
