Bizarre dream right before I woke up in which I either had to marry or kill Jar Jar Binks. I have the distinct impression I was trying to get away from him....

Church today. I always marvel at how the church we go to here always gets out on time, how the sermon never goes over. At home church lasts for up to an hour and half, which up to 45 minutes of sermon. Here, they're out at 11 come hell or high water. It's great. And they actually sang a hymn today that I knew! Normally they sing ones that I don't know, or that sound like ones I know with different lyrics.

This weekend I mostly did homework and fixed up my resume to use to try and get internships. I was able to talk to my friend who's off co-oping who said that her mentor engineer might have been hitting on her, who in any case was telling her completely inappropriate stories. It reminded me of inappropriate things my mentor engineer would say this summer. It's making me realize that while at school being a girl engineer isn't a problem, we'll probably never get away from the creepy older men.

Research is going really well. I'm beginning to understand the grad student a lot better and not interpret his Russian accent as gruffness anymore. Though I wasn't overjoyed that he was the second person in my life to realize my initials (ironically) are the same as Advanced Placement.

The bruise on my arm from my attempt at blood donation is bigger but hurts less. Still an impression array of purples.
