Many things happened today and it was a day full of ups and downs, and once again, I realized that stuff actually happens in my life and I feel stuff that happens in my life. Eventually, I reconciled everything that's happening around me and I went to the mall and I got this:
It makes me feel a little epic and to be honest, quite awesome. Bat-ring definitely deserves an up and up.
In general, every time I talk to my advisers, I feel better about life. I feel better about liking the things that I like and don't feel as useless doing the things that I do. I don't feel weird about wearing colorful scarves and nail polish and awesome bat rings and funky boots and hats and dancing and living life. I am reminded of my enthusiasm for life that I feel I will need to keep strong in grad school, and I feel part of the only way I can do that is by preserving the me that I express in my cool shirts and boots and nail polish and lipstick and rings (though of course, some of these things will have to be tempered in lab since it's rather hard to wear gloves with rings...) I have not forgotten my duties, of course, but I am suddenly freed by my need to be stone-faced serious about everything important to me. I believe I can live vivaciously and have an awesome career as a serious scientist, so why not.
Bat-ring, you have tempered the troubled waters of my psyche, and for that I thank you.
