Waiting

This semester I feel like I am always waiting.  Waiting, while definitely working in the mean time. I am counting down until mid-semester when I will be done with my most time consuming class that is only worth 1 credit! Organic Chemistry Lab...ugh.  Surprisingly, I don't mind being in the lab doing experiments for 6 hours a week.  It is pretty meticulous but it kinda feels like I am cooking, probably because so far we have created banana oil and isolated cinnamaldehyde.  If I am going to be standing at my lab station for 3 hours, I might as well be graced with the aroma of cinnamon and bananas to pass the time.  It really makes a difference. 

 
 I saw this on pinterest.  Lab cookies.  Maybe these would help with my science frustrations.

I applied for PA school this past summer (yes, it took me all summer) and I am waiting on that now.  It feels weird to finally be at this point in my life.  It has always seemed so distant and now here it is!  I applied to 12 schools all over the country and I am waiting to hear back.  Last week I got my first invitation for an interview and hopefully there will be more! The interview is for Marietta College in Ohio.  I don't even know where that is but I'll take it! 

Basically, I am just waiting to see how the next 2 years of our life are going to play out and normally I wouldn't be aware of the waiting but we will be finding out in the next few months.  I guess this is a critical point in our lives?  I'll be fine with what happens either way!  I just want to know now!

Aaron, cops, and scooters.

Lately there is just some kind of magnetism with Aaron, cops, and scooters.  There has always been a little something with Aaron and cops but I swear that the cops in Provo just recently got together and decided to start pulling over scooters every chance they get. I'm serious.  I've seen a lot.

Friday night Aaron got pulled over on his scooter and got 4 tickets! Seriously?? Who gets 4 tickets in one sitting?! He wasn't even speeding. The scooter only goes 34 mph.   The best part was that Aaron asked him why he decided to follow him and the policeman said, "I just had a feeling that you did not have registration."  He didn't even do anything to get pulled over!

So yesterday Aaron went in and talked to the court and was getting it all figured out and on his way back...he gets pulled over AGAIN. 2 more tickets...  6 tickets in 3 days! How could a person get any more than that??!  And the tickets were for really stupid things.  Trust me. Provo cops are ridiculous.  That's all I can conclude.

On a funny note...I don't know if Aaron was thinking about his tickets while he was in the shower this morning or what but he was singing some song with the lyrics, "I fought the law and the law won." I had to giggle at the appropriateness of the song. Poor guy. Haha.

Today I woke up embarassed

Today I woke up embarassed.

It was all because my peaceful sleep was interrupted by The sudden blaring sound of Aarons alarm clock at 6:30 am.

Today my body's reaction was a little different than other days.

The second the noise started, my body jolted and I yelled, "science!"

Don't ask me why the word science was just waiting to burst out of my mouth this morning, it just was. And it left me feeling just a little bit embarrassed.
