For some reason when I got to the caf my mood dampened. Actually, I know what it was, but I am wrong for feeling the way I did. So I will keep that part to myself. Anyway, I came to the lab, did some research on Song of Solomon for my senior paper, checked my e-mail and had the best e-mail. I had an e-mail from a woman at Brown University asking me to present my research at the end of next month. I was too thrilled. I enjoyed my research experience, but research is not what I want to do. However, I am more than willing to go share my experience and what I learned with others. They are willing to pay for my flight, lodging, and food. Yes, I WILL be there. I cannot wait. Anyway, it will give me a chance to get reacquainted with some of the people I met at Brown. I met a very intelligent and talented young lady when I was there and we just clicked. She was so smart. She ended up going to study at Oxford last semester. I haven't talked to her since she left, so I hope I can see her when I go to Brown. There was a professor that I liked as well. He was such a sweetheart. His entire family was so welcoming. His wife was from South Africa. I don't know why that is important, but it was. Probably because she was white. I know about apartheid and stuff like that, but to hear her talk about it kind of made me look at it differently. I am really looking forward to this. It seems like so many opportunities are just being thrown in my lap. I am overwhelmed, but I am taking advantage of each and every one of them. God is truly blessing me.
