Just writing to say hi...I'm actually off to bed, and that's a sad day in the life of Jerilyn...going to bed before midnight. Why do people care when you work? If I were to work the same amount of hours, just different times people would think I was crazy, but working 7:30am-9pm is fine, cause I came in early...yucky! More of the same....sorry nothing to exciting from me. Night
Love

Melting Pot!
OHMYGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!
If you haven't been to the Melting Pot, you should go! It was so much fun! The food was good, and the experience was one of a kind! We got Cheddar Cheese Fondue for appetizer, had apple's, bread and some veggies. Then the Pacific Rim entree including steak, chicken, duck and pork! We chose the European cooking style, which I would list as the American cooking style, basically it was deep frying. Didn't realize that before. Then Amaretto Meltdown chocolate fondue for dessert! It was white chocolate with a shot of amaretto mixed in, then flambeed, we had some fruit and other desserts. I LOVED the dessert, which I wasn't sure I'd like so much! The Pineapple and amaretto and white chocolate was amazing! We are going to go back, just only get dessert! It was all good and I'd eat it again, but for the cost, I'd prefer to just have the dessert, maybe the cheese. The entree was good, but a lot of food and a lot of work. It was great fun though! I look forward to going again! As I said, save up your money and try it! A good time and good food!
Home watching some Grey's now, and off to bed here soon...I've been getting up early...early for me..I'll start getting up even earlier, just working my up to it. Didn't go to bed till almost 2:30-3 and got up at 7:30ish...not bad, but tired today.
Love!

Everyone's excited about the end but....
...I have no concept of the end!
Everywhere I look there are signs that the semester is ending...
Everywhere I look there are signs that the semester is ending...
- away messages on AIM,
- names on MSN,
- status updates on Facebook
- Undergraduates in my lab talking about it
- Fellow grad students taking exams
BUT
I do not have any classes and the end for me is not the end of the semester, and this is a very weird feeling. I'm usually counting down the classes, final exams...days till it is over and summer begins. This however won't happen for me this year.
I have an "end", but it's not the semester. My end is the defense of my Thesis. Which is actually nearer than I thought, not two weeks, but 4-6 weeks. I found out yesterday that for a defense date in late june/early july I have to be done writing with a good version in about a month. That means I'm going to be a bit crazy busy! I've got just about 3 of my chapters written, 2 more big ones to go! Now should I be sitting here watching American Idol tonight? No, but I am...and will pay for it later. I'm hoping that with some luck my model runs will be done by the end of next week and writing and analysis is all I have to do! If not, I may have a reoccuring junior year fall semester. I recovered from that hell semester by going to England, and I will again recover and reward myself by going to England and Europe! The end is in sight, just nearer than I thought (writing anyway)...it will all be done soon I will have my Masters!
Oh and tonight I'm on the Idol Gives Back Kick! I don't usually get into the whole donation things...being selfish, figuring I'll donate when I actually have a steady income. But tonight with the amazing Idol Gives back Show, I decided to actually give something to help the kids in america and africa. I have seen the poverty in america and other countries and it's sad. I figure if I can afford to go out to eat with my friends, I can afford to give some money to those who need it.
Going to the Melting Pot tomorrow, have you ever been? I've not....but think it will be very exciting! The food will be amazing and not cheap! Emily and I have talked about it for months and months now...saving up..eating in on our recent Thursday night get togethers so that we can splurge this week. With that I think I'll watch the Pursuit of Happyness....should be writing or sleeping, yes I know....but movies are so much more fun! I'll get down to the grind very soon! Promise! I'm not stressed out yet, can you tell? beware, it will happen soon and very soon!
Love!

The Holiday
I am currently watching and have already watched The Holiday today! I LOVE this movie!!! I didn't really like Jude Law before this movie, but I LOVE him in this movie! If you haven't seen it check it out!!! My favorite scene is when he first arrives on the door step and he and Amanda meet for the first time, that whole next part is my favorite! If only this could happen to me on a vacation! Well if you get the chance, watch this movie!
Love!
