This weekend was a wonderfully relaxing weekend. I was able to spend Friday helping out my family when my baby brother's girlfriend developed appendicitis and he needed all our support. I spent Saturday with my grandparents which I enjoy doing, especially since it's hard to know how many more times I'll be able to do that. Sunday, LOML and I hiked Pilot Mountain which was a fun little adventure for the two of us. Monday was spent doing some work and then painting the evening away. When I was in high school I used to paint spiderwebs on the backs of the AOL CDs. This time around, I painted a stained glass window which looks similar to the spiderwebs I used to paint, expect the stained glass window is a little more detailed.
It was definitely fun painting it. I have so many ideas for other paintings to do. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but am glad it turned out decently.
As for today, well, it was a bit difficult. Clinic was busy, as usual. I had to leave early to spend time with an interviewee. Then went to drinks with some of the faculty which was a little uncomfortable being the only one there that wasn't faculty. It was another moment where I felt out of place, like an outsider. I didn't quite feel like I belonged. I don't know if part of it is the fact that I'm a fellow and not privy to much of the faculty stuff or if it's something to actually do with not fitting in with the group in general. As my best friend from college says about her post-doctoral program, got to take it one day at a time.
