What a CRAZY Week!

Well, this past week has been pretty hectic for me. My life went from pretty calm to crazy all in one week!

Let's see, first there was the wasp incident on Tuesday. Turns out there were a total of 3 nests on my property. One was in the wall of the house, another under the sundeck, and finally there was another one under a tree in the yard. Turns out this one wasn't wasps, but bald hornets! Very nasty insects that not only sting but bite!

My parents finally hired an exterminator to get rid of all of them. It cost $180 but it was money well spent!

On Wednesday I went to my first gay youth meeting. It was pretty low key which I liked for my first meeting. We watching a Hollywood version of a Bollywood movie. It was called "Bride and Prejudice". It was ok, but not really something I would personally pick out to watch. It was fun nonetheless. I met some really nice people who made me feel welcomed.

On Friday, I went to my first Gay dance. Initially I was hesitant about going, but I'm glad I made the trip. They had auctions for charity, games, and selecting the King and Queen of the prom! The couple that got my vote didn't win (two hot lesbians who did a steamy kiss won instead).

On Sunday, I finally got the comments from my committee member which I been waiting for all week. There were EXTENSIVE. Luckily, after I stopped hyperventilating and went through them carefully, they weren't that bad. Most were just questions on clarification. It turns out that this member got confused about some points thus she misunderstood my tables.

I went to see my advisor on Monday to go over the comments. In that one day, I met my advisor, met the committee member who gave me comments, appointed a chair for my defense, and set a date for my presentation! After weeks of just sitting around waiting for my thesis comments, things got set into overdrive!

I spent the majority of Tuesday reworking my measures section of my thesis to give to my committee as well as redrafting a clean version for my new Chairperson. On the side, I was working on my powerpoint which I'll need by Monday so I can do a "dry-run" for my advisor.

If that wasn't enough, on Wednesday after I handed in my redraft to my advisor, I went to another group meeting where I took part in a video promo for next year's pride! Me and some of the other youth workers and people at the meeting basically yelled out "Happy Pride !" It was surreal! haha

After that we went to the beach to hang out, chat and play some charades...very briefly. A guy I met at the dance came to the group for the first time, so it was nice seeing him again.

Right now, it's Thursday and I'm continuing to work on my slides for Monday's dry run presentation. Well...I think we're all caught up by now, don't you think!?
