RESEARCH ADVISOR ASSIGNMENTS CAME OUT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy! I ran up the stairs from the computer lab and burst through the door toward the department office like a child toward the tree and presents on Christmas morning. I got my second choice, but he was basically tied with my first choice with respect to how happy I would be in his group and I only put him second because I couldn't put two people for first. I feel so relieved and excited and basically fantastic! Now to pick a project to work on and get started! Ah, what a fabulous day!
As for the exam this morning...I think I did okay on it and was kind of disappointed, but that was completely overshadowed by the subsequent research advisor assignment situation, so I pretty much don't care about it right now.
I'm in such a great mood that I could actually go and confidently hit on girls I meet on the street, and I almost never feel like that! :3
My husband and I are going to see Where the Wild Things Are later this evening because he looked at me with his beautiful little "pretty please" face and asked me if we could go see a movie. I responded that I would love to see Where the Wild Things Are and he produced a tiny note he had written to remind himself that he wanted to see a movie. On it he had scralled in almost childlike text Where the Wild Things Are and he absolutely beamed at me. I grabbed him and squeezed him as hard as I could because he has this tendency to be so cute and irresistable that I can't help myself. "I just want to spend time with you," he whispered.
Earlier in the morning he had shooed me out of the bed because he was having trouble sleeping and I had dejectedly resigned myself to watching BBC America on the futon in my underwear. Later I returned to the bedroom to find the door shut and was frankly kind of hurt. When he saw that he had hurt my feelings he explained that he was feeling really nervous and could not sleep and the door being shut was not because of me but because he felt too "exposed" with it open. I understand. I get that feeling sometimes like someone is watching me or if I don't shut a door or turn on a light something terrible will happen. I know they are only strange night feelings brought on by an overactive subconscious but they are compelling nontheless. Regardless I was still a bit miffed and I asked him why he didn't want to do anything with me anymore. He doesn't want to learn breakdancing, learn aikido, paly Nobilis, or hang out with various other groups of people and it has started to worry me that we are growing apart. I think my questioning made him realize that maybe he is distancing himself from me a bit by using the excuse that "his job wears him out" a few too many times and I am glad that he so sweetly came up with the idea to see a movie all on his own. It really means a lot to me.
Anyway, I'm in a fabulous mood and I think after we see the movie we are going to go out drinking (yes I know it's Monday) with my classmates to celebrate the research advisor selection. It should be a wonderful evening. Perhaps things are looking up?

congrats on getting the research advisor you wanted. also that's adorable about your husband. hope the drinking's fantastic.
Let me know how you liked Where the Wild Things Are. Brandon and I thought it was like some sort of terrifying acid trip.
I think we still liked it, though.

Man...I walked out of there feeling so depressed and confused. What a strange commentary on the workings of the adult world from a child's point of view... It was actually kind of fucked up, honestly.
@happytimeskatie - I KNOW!!! I don't think I would bring children to my movie. As we were walking out my first question to Brandon was, "Do you think Max grew up to be a serial killer?"
