Last Day of Work...
Yesterday was my last day at the lab. I have worked there over three years. It will take some getting use to not working there any more. I took off my badge and took my key off my key ring and handed them in. I think that I will miss those two material things a lot because they had been a symbol of who I was and what I did for so long.
Everyone at the lab was very sweet. They got me a card and wrote wonderful things in it. I will miss them. But I won't miss cleaning the lab or taking the biohazard to the autoclave. Some of the things in the lab were nasty to do.
Now I look forward to my vacations and packing. I am going to Iowa this weekend (actually leave in two hours). My cousin John is graduating high school. I remember that. It seemed all so important but looking back on it, now that I am a genuine college graduate, I see that high school really did not matter. I met some amazing people but that is all there is to it.
| Your Birthdate: March 12 |
Being born on the 12th day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life.
The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental.
There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, sometimes "couldn't care less" attitude.
You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression.
Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing.
You are energetic and always a good conversationalist.
You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters.
Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about.
You are affectionate and loving - but very sensitive.
You are subject to rapid ups and downs. |
A friend of mine from Theories of Personality (Jim) posted this website on his livejournal so I thought I would include it since it is very close to who I am. Of course, if anyone should disagree, let me know.
Peace and love and whatnots,

New Home...Finally...
Today I put a deposit on my first apartment. This will be the first time I live alone. It is in Fairfield, OH, which is a northern suburb of Cincinnati. It is 905 ft2 for only $615 a month. They allow cats-so Juna is safe.
Now have to pack all my stuff. Write more soon.
Yippee,
Juls
New School, New City, New Home...
Well, I went to Cincinnati this last weekend to find an apartment for myself and my cat, Juna Bast. Dad, Janeen, and Kathy went on this great adventure with me. We went and toured several apartments, the battery in the suburban had to be replaced (oh, that was fun), and we saw the outside of several apartments. If I was the apartment industry I would always have hours on saturday (but that is just me). We found several that were ok, but none that I could call home. One place seemed perfect until they let us know they were animal haters. So now the great adventure will resume on Tuesday. It better end on Tuesday since this weekend I am in Iowa and the next two after that I am in Hawaii. We have found several more apartments we can look at on Tuesday that look promising. I will of course keep everyone posted.
Well, this is the last monday of my life at IUPUI. It is the start of the last week of my work at the lab. I am excited but also (of course) sad. I have spent three years here and while I am ready to leave, I will still miss it. Many things have changed since the first day I worked here but isn't that just the nature of life. Change.
Ok, enough of the sappy stuff.
Have fun,
Juls
PSP, how I love thee...
See, I continue to do the three period thing. I know that there is a grammar name for what it is, but I really do not care that much. Kathy got me a PSP for all you who do not already know. For that matter, since I have shared my blog site with a multitude of people-Kathy is my sister. I love the PSP. It is pretty, cute, and as long as you keep it charged, will not betray you. Of course, I have only had it for five days.
I am going to West Virginia with Janeen (my stepmother) tomorrow because she has to work and I don't want her to have to make that drive (five and a half hours one way) by herself. Especially since she will be coming back the same day. This way I can sneak out of town for the day and she has company on the drive.
I am going to go find an apartment on Saturday in Cincinnati. I have been looking at places on Rent.com and apartments.com but I am glad that I don't have to do this alone. My wonderful parents and sister are coming with me. This way I don't sign up for hurricane insurance without knowing about it first (hey, you never know, hurricanes might start cropping up in the Midwest with the way the pollution levels are rising).
Bye for now,
Juls
Counting the days...
I like putting three periods behind each of my titles. It makes me laugh. It is the simple things in life that always give me the most joy. Probably because the more complicated things I cannot understand.
Anyways, I am counting down the days that I have left. For example, I have 9 days left of work (or at least days that I could possibly work). I have 18 days until I go to Hawaii. I have 35 days until I start school.
I have had a wonderful last couple of weeks because of all the wonderful people that have been so wonderful to me. I am not use to all the attention but I am soaking it up.
I would like to end this post with a reminder that I am moving June 18 and that anyone who would like to help, is more than welcome to come to Cincinnati to help. I actually have to be there June 16 because of orientation on June 17 but everyone else is driving my stuff to Cincinnati on the 18th.
Love always,
Juls
So let the games begin...
Hello, and welcome to my blog. I have set this up in the hopes that I can better keep in touch with everyone. I look forward to starting my new life in Cincinnati at the University of Cincinnati studying Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine but I do not want to leave behind my family and friends. Since everyone is refusing to move to Cincinnati with me, I have decided that a blog might come in handy. This way everyone can be connected to me and what is going on. I also expect all parties be posted so that I know when to come home and when everyone is being lame.
I will also accept emails from people, in fact I will be anxiously awaiting emails as well as blogs. Everyone can email me at
julearwood@hotmail.com.
I will stop rambling now but when I have learned more about the amazing things that await me I will let everyone know.
Cheers,
Juls
