| Whats the big deal?!I really miss Olivet sometimes. I miss all my friends and their laughter, hugs, and love. I miss the smell around campus at spring time. I miss the professors. I miss that safety. I miss being treated as a regular person.
Its such an odd transition out of college. I feel many times like people misjudge me as another woman in science who's out to (pardon the language) bust balls. Its funny to see how many of my male collegues react to the opposite gender. At ONU I never felt out of place...
Guys tend to react a few different ways: 1) they are defensive and egotistical (this goes back to them thinking that all females in science are out to be "ball busters") 2) they act as though you are unable to defend yourself, (I am the resident strawberry shortcake sometimes -- I think my advisor likes to play up my naivity and "innocence") 3) They are just offended based on the culture they came from (there is one forgien student whos seems very offended that my advisor told him to come to me with his questions) 4) ...
Now, don't get me wrong, these guys aren't evil, and I don't think they know how this affects the women in their lives. I think they are reacting based on past life experiences. I'm not looking to make a big fuss, I just don't want it to be a big deal. I'm a geophysicist...big deal male or female!
Anyway, busy busy busy!
One month 'till Fiji and Tonga and the South Pacific. (BTW that is one of my favorite musicals eVeR!) | | |
| I'm such a sap. Every Monday night I watch the Sunday night recording of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and almost every time it brings me to tears  . I'm hope this will be a good week. It was a good Monday. I got to judge the Tuscaloosa Academy science fair today. It was really fun to see all the projects and some really bright kids! Tomorrow I will start working with the seismic interpretation software! I'm excited, but just as working with any kind of new software, it can be frustrating. Ike left again this morning, and already I miss him like crazy. We are going to miss our first married Valentines  . Its alright though, I'm still married to the most amazing man ever! Its all worth it - just for those times we do get to spend together. My plans for Tonga and Fiji are almost complete, and I am really excited Ike will be joining me for a week down there after the cruise is over. I'm super excited to see the reefs and sharks and volcanoes! Apparently the UA is going to be doing a few articles on my trip down there to boost their international appeal and to make some Tongan connections. If you want to stay updated with my trip blog: http://www.jordenhayes.blogspot.com
Well, I have seismic lines to process!
Best,

| Joseph and JudahI was reading the story of Joseph last night, and it really caught me how little they play the transformation and forgiveness of Judah in the musical version. The transformation of Judah from the person who lived in bitterness and jealousy of the favored little brother (Joseph) to the one willing to give his life for the now favored little brother (Benjamen). Judah pleas to Joseph to spare Benjamen for his sake and the sake of his father.
This is so relevant to myself and being less critical of people. Instead of harboring negative feelings about other people, I must realize and pray for the transforming nature of the Spirit in their lives. Just as Judah could be transformed over time, so can they, and so can I.
I wish to be free of the self-centered nature of other people and that same nature of myself.

| NICKEL CREEK LYRICS
"Speak"
Well I sat down next to a photograph
Tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd
There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds
Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
I can't speak without messing up
Eye's tell of what's behind
And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb
But through failure I'll proceed
And she'll see how far I've come
[Chorus]
And it's you and me in the sun and sea
I'll offer my arms to yours
It seems to me, no mystery
Well it isn't
So I'll try hard to speak
Well I sat down next to a living hell
Tried my best until I struck out
Movement is not mine
I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine
But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine
[Chorus]
And it's not me
Not my sanctity
These aren't my words to you
It's all clear when it's not from here
So clear
So I'll try not to speak | | |
