Panic Attack!

Tuesday afternoon I went by our soon-to-be new apartment office to pick up applications. The lady that I had been working with wasn't there so I just asked the girl who was there for an application. They asked me about which apartment, so I told them, and then she said that she thought that one had been rented out that afternoon. I can feel the panic and rage start to surge through my body... she says doesn't really know anything more and the usual lady will call me in the morning. The morning?!? Thats feels like 3 years from now!!
So I call Derrick and he starts freaking out too. This was the day that I overslept so I had the whole drive home to think over the situation. I tried to keep calm and tell myself that if it didn't work out, we would find somewhere else. That would work for about 30 seconds and then I would get mad again. Needless to say it was a long night for Derrick and I...
The next morning I get to school around 8am as usual but the office doesn't open until 9:30 so I wait around until about 9:45. I'm about to call when an email pops into my inbox. Its from the apartment lady. She tells me that the apartment HAS been rented out but only until March 21st. So we can move in on March 23rd- which is actually better since our current lease doesn't end until the 31st. Turns out that there is a visiting scholar who needed a place for about a month so they gave it to them for the month. whew! Panic attack for nothing!!
On a different note, I got a 68.5 on my microbiology test. That seems discouraging at first but the average was 60 and the highest grade was 73 or something like that. So I was pretty excited about my 68 :)

Long Weekend!

Hurray for presidents day- a much needed day to catch up on things! Here are some pictures- the top ones are our new apartment!! in Davis!! that we move into in less than a month!! Needless to say I am excited. Last week the train just didn't come two mornings and then this morning I overslept and missed it completely so I had to drive. I am feeling very done with the train. I am counting down until March 15.
The bottom left are the flowers Derrick got me from Valentines :) And the bottom right are my sprouting seeds! The really tall ones are cucumber and the smaller ones are tomatoes. I also have peppers but they haven't sprouted yet.
This weekend we went skiing with Emily and Mark. It was fun! Saturday we went cross country skiing at Royal Gorge- it was fun but a lot like work :) Sunday we went downhill skiing at Sugar Bowl. I went down some intermediate slopes.. with the bruises to prove it :P Overall a very fun but exhausting weekend. Luckily I had yesterday off.
My computer is fixed, finally! yay! I had two tests on Friday- Microbiology and biotech. The MB one was really hard- pretty sure I made up answers for at least 2 questions. The biotech wasn't bad.. or maybe I was just too tired to care. We will find out later in the week! Well, time to get back to the real world!
