Whew!
Well, I survived my lecture this morning for the first year grad students – they were attentive and asked questions, and my boss told me I did a good job, so I’m pretty happy with the results – especially given that I’d like to teach as a career, it was nice to at least not get a resounding NO as an answer after my first official teaching gig! 
And I’ve got a new haircut, pink roses on my benchtop, Frank Sinatra playing on my computer, and this weekend is going to be great, so I’m a happy, happy girl!
Concert this Friday night in Greensboro at Christ Community Church (http://www.cccarp.org) with Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken (!) and Judd and Maggie (who I don’t know, but are apparently opening for DW and SM) – Matthew will be coming up to spend the weekend with me, so he’s going to try to make the concert too – then we’ll have a fun weekend of movies and eating and maybe we’ll spend some time outside at some point too bad we missed the film festival that was running last weekend – we’ll have to make our own I guess…
My dad comes back from WI tomorrow (I think), so it will be nice to have him back – its wierd to call home and not be able to talk to him 
But I’d better get used to it, since he’s recently decided to go back to Kenya again this summer for 3 weeks – which is very exciting! He’s already got all the shots, and the guy who runs the orphanage over there will be going with him, so it will be good for him to see people over there again and see how things have changed – I’d love to go with him, but this summer is going to have to be dedicated to getting some good data under way or my committee is not going to be pleased come fall…
Off to finish work so I can make it to Bible study on time!
