Something Good

Last week was kind of ugh. I don't even want to explain why anymore; it's nothing serious, just one of those weeks when you really don't feel good about yourself for no new reasons.

Anyway, it's over, and this week is starting well. I had a good day. Work was a little stressful because Melissa wasn't around today, so I was more on my own. I think I did fine though.

Genetics was actually nice today because we talked about classical experiments in molecular genetics, which are my favorite. I love the history of genetics. Also, we got back our exam, and I got about 84%, which I'm completely satisfied with, to be honest. It's above average, and I was dead worried because I didn't really get to study. It was a crazy week.

Lab for Biol 2004 went great today. I'm starting to love Monday lab times, mostly because the TA's are cool to chat with. One of them said I "talk smack" about others so much. It was hilarious. I mean, of course I didn't say anything with harmful intentions. Oh, I love it. I really can use a Monday afternoon worth of laughter to start off the week.

I came home right away, and in the mail was my Wakey!Wakey! CD's!!! I love them so much. I'm also liking Casey Shea (from the same record company--it's small, but they're amazing). Casey Shea has a bunch of free music available on his (their? --I'm too lazy to go check if they're actually a band) website.

So you know how sometimes you discover or rediscover a song that just speaks to you right to your very core? A portion of Wakey!Wakey!'s "Car Crash" is exactly that for me right now. I mean, maybe just a bit, but either way it's so beautiful:

And now you are hurt,
And you are sure I could not be hurt too.
And just because you're bleeding
You think that I'm not bleeding.
And just because you're full of yourself
Doesn't mean I'm not full of you...

To avoid a painful morning, I'm going to watch this week's episode of One Tree Hill and then sleep.

I wish this week would keep being as amazing as how today was. You know, I'm not at all religious, but I think faith is something real. Life has its difficulties no matter who you are, unless you're just THAT lucky. If you're really going to live, you're going to have to take risks and endure things you'd rather not face. Without faith in the better things, no matter what these better things are, how could so many wonderful people live such great lives?

Mmmm... anyway, good night. I hope you'll have an amazing week.
