So I have been delaying blogging in the hopes that I would have good news about the job... Alas, that is not the case. I have heard nothing since my interview on the 23rd of February. I've even sent a nice follow up email to the HR director in an attempt to remind the company that yes, I am still here and waiting. No luck. Dern it.
Work is work. I still love the people I work with and enjoy going in every day. Except now there is a feeling of... I guess sadness. The contract runs out on March 30th. There is a chance I could work past that date - our supervisor stated some would stay on but there has been little information on that front too. I've beginning to wonder if this is an elaborate psych experiment to test the human ability to wait. FYI, I hate waiting when there is no set end. Holidays are set - I can wait for those because I know the date my waiting will end. This? I do not enjoy.
David has a presentation this month. Every student, second year and above, presents a seminar of their research once a year. He is excited but the presentation is a bit long and there is TONS of information. Most second years do not have quite so much data. The seminar is the 28th so in addition to celebrating that (since I am sure it will go well) we get to celebrate David's birthday on the 29th.
I've been working on a few crochet projects. I finally finished the baby sweater for my friend Kathryn. Pictures will be posted after she gets it since this is technically a baby shower present. I'm only 2 1/2 months late... I found a cute filet pattern with bunnies which I am making in a bright turquoise yarn. Plus I am trying to finish a blanket I started before I was married and working on the blanket for Melissa and Derek.
My exercise program has again been thrown for a loop. I decided that I really like workouts that kick my rear end. So I decided to go for broke. I found a Navy SEAL training work out. Of course I am doing the beginner's 9 week course (which may turn into 10 or 11 or 12...) since I am not completely insane. Also, I lack the ability/equipment to do pull ups. Modifications all around!! I just started the workouts this week and all I can say is OUCH. The workout does not sound too difficult: 2 mile run, 4x20 crunches (military style which means arms crossed over the chest and you come up until your forearms touch your legs while someone holds your feet down), 4x15 pushups (military standard again - here I cheat since I cannot do full pushups; I have my knees down), 3x3 pullups (again need to modify for multiple reasons), and 15 minute swim. Now I am not swimming for two main reasons. First, I do not have access currently to a lap pool of 25 yards to swim in and anything shorter than that makes it frustrating to do laps. Second, it was very very cold here in Tucson on Monday and Tuesday. Today was better but not enough to make me want to get in the water. Someday I will have access to an indoor lap pool. Someday.
