"Hello"

Fortune cookie said (yesterday) "your keen sense of humor will bring you many friends" lol...

I am gearing up for a busy summer, je pense. Garnering funds for the university via grants will be a primary task...bleugh. Although i am looking forward to creating a new STEM degree that the grants want. Let's see, summer is my off quarter but i will be working on three grants, three articles, en plus the existing grant, eh what about my summer à la dude that i promised myself? I better ask for a raise. I will do that today.

Oh! on the interesting side, i was given permission to study french3 on my own and enroll in 200 level french in fall. So yay! Just as a recap, we did get our madeleines which in my opinion were nicely shaped non-guey brownies with sweet crust. Even though my own average went down to 97% our class made that benchmark 85% so prof had to bake! I am all psyched, i think i will start studying next week! lol, geek much? Um, it's french, dude. Can't call me a geek!

By the way...

It's gonna be a beautiful day, just cause :-P. If i may borrow some lines to show how i feel...it's a translation of a 1200 AD poem ... um, word for word translation, cause i wanted to remain true to the poem (which captured my feelings so true)

The night ended with me lucking out
When i saw the face of my beloved
It all made sense, my life and my youth
Not a speckle of doubt in sight.
