cornerofmadnessNaturally they picked my longest day to hold the awards party. I had to drag clothing with me because I wasn't going to be photographed in my pig blood and formalin encrusted scrub clothes after four hours of lab exams. I did look nice though for it (the president loved my nail/toenail polish in emerald matched my shirt).
The other two professors wrote speeches. I just went up there and talked. Maybe it wasn't as long as theirs (close) but Geminis are good at talking. Everyone was shocked I could pull a speech like that together without notes. I didn't cry. Also. I DID cry at 730 in the morning when one of my coworkers shocked me with a bottle of wine to congratulate me. So unexpected and sweet.
What wasn't so sweet is that once again almost no one came. Just our friends. You know it's just super shitty that the various professors don't support each other or the students at these events. I don't care. I go. I got my award and it means something to me.
I'd share pictures but someone forgot her phone in her office. Oops.
