Catch up

It's been a little second since I last wrote, but I have been preoccupied. Tomorrow I leave for Iceland/Boston/Maine. How exciting. Last week I was more than a little overwhelmed with stuff but I can now say that I have completed general chemistry not once, but twice. Thats something not everyone can (or should) brag about. I feel I did significantly better on round two. Let's recap the last week's events.
Last Friday was the Jasch-man's birthday. As Anneeth put it, he is old and salty... he is brine. Well, I happen to like salty so good for me. On the Wed. before the big day, Jascha, me, his sister and brother-in-law all went to Fogo de Chao. It was delicious again and Jascha had a good showing. I believe it was lamb chop 17 where he decided to slow down. If you think that sounds a little gross, trust me, it was. Yet impressive all the same. Then on Friday we went to Jascha's sister's for a delightful meal. In an attempt to show I am not domestically challenged, I made a cake. Let's just say, I should have bought something. While I think it went down rather well, it's presentation was lacking something. I'd say stability was the main problem. My problem is I lack the patience to let anything cool. It was too hot to take out of the pan so it fell apart kinda. I put it back together, and iced it and it looked nice. Then on the way to his sister's house, I notice the cake was seperating. A huge crater formed in the middle. It looked like the seperation of the America's and Europe. Two thanksgiving candles later, it was a mess, but it sure tasted good.
We then went bowling where I bowled nothing noteworthy. A bunch of friends showed up. I think it was a delightful time. I hope Jascha felt the same.
Then it was on to Mother's day. I scored big with a nice dinner reservation, a nice brunch reservation and an even better present for Mom. We had a slumber party and then went to see a play, Lost Land with John Malkovich at Steppenwolf. Again, delightful.
Next, study time. We can fast forward to Thursday after the test.
I approached my professor after the exam, stated how I enjoyed the class, and asked if it might be alright if I emailed him in the fall about a letter of recommendation for medical school. He looked at me and asked, " Are you a regular student or..." I said, "No, I'm a post bac." He said, "Ohhhh...so you really don't have anyone else to ask then." What kind of comment is that to make to someone who is asking you for a recommendation. I felt stupid enough asking someone who clearly doesn't know my name for one, but he sure didn't put me at ease. The sad truth is, as far as science professors go, I don't have anyone else to ask. I don't know how anyone gets known in a class of 100 people except by being obnoxious. Maybe Ill try that next semester for orgo.
Lastly, this weekend was another one of leisure. I did laundry and got excited about my trip. I overpacked, but nothing can be done about that.
So...I anticipate having internet access while I away and I will do my best to post a thing or two. Otherwise you will hear all about it in my epic tale, "Jenny and the Trolls of the Blue Lagoon."
