in love completely and unconditionally

Ah... I love me my physical anthropologist rock stars.

How are they all so brilliant, so friendly, so supportive, so warm, and so hot at the same time? How is that even possible?

*sigh* I don't even care anymore that I go rejected from Mizzou or Wash U. I don't even think I care much anymore if I get on the shortlist to GW (granted that after my botched phone conversation with the GW prof I adore...thank you phone-star-struckness...lord, i'm such a dork). They are all too awesome, and I know for sure one day I'll be working with them.

C.W. ... sooooo awesome. Best speaker I've ever heard. Brilliant, engaging, and always thinks out of the box.

B.R. ... thank you for thinking it was kind of funny that i was stuffing my drunk face with oily pizza at the bar last night. I was mortified I bombed getting the chance to chat with you at the bar, but THANK YOU for finding me at the poster session, coming up to me and chatting with me. My lord, if only you were still single... I don't mind that I won't be going to GWs anymore. At least I got to laugh it up with you (brilliant hot rock star, you).

T.H. ... still the most supportive professor ever.
S.A. ... you're awesome and hilarious. I owe you a drink.
T.D. ... you will always be Prof. McDreamy, you over-caffeinated primatologist you.


I am so glad the pieces are finally falling into place. CAN'T WAIT FOR CHICAGO! Hello future 6 years in intense gradschool. Hello FUTURE. yaaaaaaaaaay!!!
