I might look into some of these laboratory assistant jobs that they have open if I need to supplement my income with anything further. It’s as simple as uploading your resume and browsing the available job openings that are there, and it’s completely free! Given that I am so much into the sciences and that chemistry is especially appealing to me, this might be something that I would really enjoy. We’ll see how things go.

If you would be interested in this sort of thing, I advise checking this site out!

I have wholeheartedly joined “Team Jacob”, and my best friend seems extremely amused by this. She seems to be a devout member of “Team Edward”, and like I’ve said in previous posts here in this thing, she just loves the idea of Bella and Edward together…

In other news, I took my first lecture test for Chemistry today. A lot of these first lecture tests for each class let me get to see what each professor’s testing style is, and that allows me to improve if I feel like I didn’t do as well as I might have been able to. This was a lesson that I learned when I was taking Microbiology last spring. When the going gets tough, I learned not to give up.

More than half of that class dropped, and what was once completely full dwindled down to four or five students remaining come time for finals. In other words, most of the class dropped. Half of them dropped after the first lecture test! But I’ve heard that a lot of the nursing classes can be like that, though. They teach you not to give in and buckle when things begin to get difficult, and they teach you to continue to push yourself… that you will get where you want to go, as long as you keep on pushing. But the same can be said for life too…

Many people have told me that I’m going to want to settle down, get married and go the whole nine yards with that whole picket fence thing… one day. We’ll see how that goes, though! I’m not saying that I’m never going to want to settle down, entirely dismissing the notion, but I’m not subscribing to it either. Although by no means would I consider myself ready to commit to someone on as deep of a level as marriage, I don’t mind reading the occasional Wedding Blog every now and again. Through informative blogs, you can really learn about wedding planning.

Personally, if I do decide to get married, I want it to be something simple and straightforward. I’m not one of these girls who is going to turn into Bridezilla and demand that I have the most extravagant wedding ever, because that sort of thing really turns me off for some reason. Then again, one of the things that I’ve also come to learn from wedding websites is that you do not need to rush through these things. Although some people have joked around with me about “doing it backwards”, having a child of my own but absolutely no desire whatsoever to get married and be the perfect housewife, that’s just how I am as a person. I figure that if I take my time with all this, and don’t make being married any sort of priority, everything will begin to fall in my lap afterward…
