Research
June 30 2005
I just don't know if I am cut out for research. I kind of entered this program to get my foot in the door and with the hopes that I would learn to like research and that I would learn things that would help me later on. Well, I definitely feel like my interest in reading other people's research has developed, and I feel that I have learned a lot so far (honestly more than I expected to!). I like Dr.B and my classmates, but the thought of actually doing research is terrifying to me. I am trying to do something for my literature review this summer and I just freeze up when I think about running an experiment. It is scary and not at all fun.
Well I guess life isn't about fun, is it? Things in life are great now though so I have no room to complain. In less than two weeks I'll be MARRIED. :) I am very excited. Things are going great with Charles's work, too, so that is really nice. I am a very happy person right now, just a little stressed about the career aspects of my future. Money is by no means the most important thing, but it seems that a lack of money can remove a disproportionate amount of joy and potential from life. Bethany, i *might* try going to your church this weekend... if I can get up the courage, I think it would really lift my mood. But I warn any Belle Aire people now, I don't have any "nice clothes" so I hope I don't look too slummy.

Hey-sorry you are stressed out about research! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. You should definitely come to church, and it doesn't matter what you wear. I usually wear something casual like a jean skirt or black pants. Khaki pants would be fine as well. But really, don't worry about it! Is Charles going to come?

No, Charles, though a Christian and the most moral man I know, isn't too big into the church scene. If he came, it would be a miracle...
