like the first day of school. . .
Gosh, im nervous! i dont get it. i'm almost 24 years old and going to things where i meet people for the first time still makes me super nervous! tomorrow is the first day of my 5 day ASM Materials Camp. basically its a science teacher camp with an emphasis in material science. so i'll be at UH from 8am to 5:30pm in class all this week. . .me and 24 other science teachers from around Houston. fun, right? i hope so! its gonna be a lot of hands-on experiments which will be totally cool but the whole "shy Jane" may kick in if i have to cooperatively work with TONS of people! i do fine in groups but it takes time! i need to build trust! lol but yeahh . . .nervous and i need to be sleeping since i'll be back to my work wake up schedule, something i havent done in a month!! one exciting thing about this week is im gonna try to work out after im done with my class. i've decided to bring work out clothes so that after class, i can change and go running around UH. it'll be my chance to discover the campus a little bit more. i kinda miss being a student and its a good way to pretend im one again. . .(who would have thought 5 years ago i would have WANTED to still be in school?? NOT I!! =x)

my mom had jokingly told me yesterday that she hopes, for my sake, that tomorrow there will be a cute young male teacher there. i just looked over the "roster" for the workshop and there's about 7 men on it. they're probably all old but we'll see!

this brings me to my next point: what's wrong with me being single??
my cousin from New Orleans called today to confirm that they're coming into town saturday night and she requested to speak to me after she talked to my mom. i DREAD when any of my relatives want to speak to me, only because the first question is ALWAYS (mark my words!!) "do you have a boyfriend?" hahaha of course i replied with the simple "no" supporting my answers with the reasons of "i'm too busy during the school year" (which is totally true!), "there arent any young guys at work" (another true statement because Todd doesnt count!) and "i really dont get out that much" (this is semi-true. i do get out but im not always looking for guys when im out. . .its time to just have fun!) i kinda have the "stuck being single" mentality from time to time. . .the "why me??" questioning and what not but i think im hanging in there and enjoying the ride!

the really good thing that came out of my conversation with my cousin is that she's gonna highlight and cut my hair sunday morning! im super excited! i like change, esp when it has to do with hair!! when it happens, ill be sure to post a picture!

okay, its time for me to attempt to go to sleep. lets see if this works or not. . .i mean, its almost 11pm and thats "early!" wish me luck overcoming the rushings of the first day of kindergarten tomorrow and driving to UH. hopefully i wont DIE!! =x

oh yeah, tomorrow's random topic: male fertility! i read something interesting and i wanted to share my POV on it!! till then!!
