1:43 Early Saturday Morning   Sleeping for 13 Hours is the bomb. I went to sleep around 10:30 and woke up at 11:30. I turned off my alarm at 7:30 and slept right through a phone call at 9:30. Frankly I feel very rested and am happy to have caught up on the sleep I lost this weekend. However, I'm really bummed I missed that phone call because it was from Caleb. So on Thursday, Dr J (who, like Dr G, is a faculty member specialising in soil chemistry) approached me asking me if I would be interested in working for her for a project she and a few other professors are starting. I am elated, since Dr G still has no money and Ajay is wrapping up and i would probably be out of work again. Also, this is the sort of thing I'm interested in...research in soil restoration type things, so it should be really cool. School starts in just over a week!!! It's crazy how much i'm looking forward to it. in other news, i'm feeling really conflicted. I feel suffocated in the valley, and would love to leave (maybe washington state or oregon state)... but I don't know if my wish to leave overcomes the intense desire to be with caleb - without having to say goodbye again. on the one hand, if Caleb goes to Washington State, I would get to move there as well...albeit a year after he does (though I could probably get a summer job there). If Caleb comes here, we would be together sooner but we'd have to live here for another 3 to 5 years. Oh well, we have time...
