Letter to Someone's Ancestor

Dear David,
 I don't know why your name unveiled itself to me. It was just one of many on the page, and there are many others like me out there sitting in front of computer screens prayerfully trying to decipher a long ago census worker's cramped writing. Your name seemed funny to me at first, appearing as Dand. I quickly moved to the next name, but a quiet voice somewhere in the back of my mind whispered, "His name is David." I looked back, and instead of scribbled handwriting, I saw a clearly legible 'David' written there. I took a moment to ponder the significance of the moment. Perhaps your progeny has been searching for years to find your name. Perhaps you have been waiting a long time to be found. Perhaps your family just needed the one final push to break open your line. I don't know the real reason and I don't know the actual circumstance, but I do know that moments like this are what I live for. Stories like yours, even if they are only imagined, are the ones I long to finish. David, someday I hope to be able to meet you and shake your hand. Until then, I will be here- in front of a computer screen striving to finish more stories like yours.

With much love,
Emma-Leigh Owen

Spring Semester Outcome

So this semester was one big surprise for me. Nothing turned out like I thought it would and it just got busier and busier the further I got into it. I learned so much about myself this semester...but I'm glad it's over. :)

Here is my semester outcome (just a few days late...). My original answers are first and my actual answer is highlighted.


Class I Will Love the Most:
Organic Chemistry (If last semester is any indication it will be)

Ding ding ding! Organic Chemistry!

Class I Will Hate the Most:
Probably going to be a tie between Micro Lab and Anat and Phys Lab.

I went halfsies on this one. It was a tie between Microbiology and Anat and Phys Lab.

Class I Will Study the Most For:
Organic Chemistry and the lab...actually, I should probably be studying for all of these classes the most.

Just Organic Chemistry. I didn't really study for the lab...at all!

Best Class (in terms of grades):
Microbiology (Professor Winston said we have three take home exams and the final is in class, but the questions all come from the take home exams)

Organic Chemistry baby!! I'm still on cloud nine about that one :) This girl ended up with a 95%!

Worst Class (in terms of grades):
Organic Chemistry (just cause I love it doesn't means it's a walk in the park)

Microbiology. How ironic right? The class I thought I would do worst in I actually did best and and vice versa.

Number of Times I Will Be Late for A&P Because It's at 8:00 and on the Other Side of Campus and I Have to Walk if I Miss the Bus:
Hopefully not often, but I can definitely see myself being late :( uhhh...two, maybe three)

Ummm...I may have absolutely hated the TA that taught the Immunology chapters and decided that I would rather spend my morning studying for Organic a few times...so I missed that class about...well, let's just go with 6 times. But maybe it was only 5

I came...I saw...I just wanna take a nap

This semester has been so utterly busy...I just don't even know.

I just finished my last final and while I am so dang excited that summer is finally here...I am probably more nervous now than I was during my last test. I just have one more hour until that fateful time when I go and see how I did. OChem, please be nice!

Honestly, there hasn't been a whole lot of excitement in my life as of late. I wake up, go to class, go to work, go to class, go back to work, and come home and do homework. Then I go to sleep. The cycle is never-ending! I did manage to squeeze in a little bit of a social life in there (probably too MUCH social life. That will be determined by my final grades :P)

All I know for right now is that I am so excited for SUMMER!
Some friends and I are planning on starting it out with a bang :) Hopefully there will be many posts in the coming weeks seeing as I have been completely absent almost all semester.

Now, to spice up this boring post a little bit, here is a picture that I thoroughly enjoy:

Look how cute she is!!

This now makes me the one and only girl in my immediate family who has never been crowned some sort of royalty at a dance. 

...I must have been too busy being a nerd *snort*
