Changes

I've been spending less time with the people at Warren and more time with Mil and Steph. It's not that I don't enjoy myself with the guys; we still have fun and lots of laughs because they are really lame. However, I feel more appreciated and more accepted with Mil and Steph. I don't really know how to explain it. I guess it's in the simple and small things that they do. I love the way I feel so welcome with Mil and Steph. I love the way they brighten when they see me. I love the way we sit down and talk serious stuff. Somehow, these are all missing with the guys. I don't feel necessary there. It's like I don't make a difference whether I'm there or not. Hence, now I prefer not to spend so much time with them. Life is moving around as well. I'm getting closer to the people at work although there are still some who are quite distant. Anyway, it's sometimes hard to find common topics with the older people. I also like the fact that I am becoming more of a friend to my supervisors instead of a student. I find it easier to talk and joke with them, particularly with my guy supervisor. It feels just so natural to be sarcastic with him since he is sarcastic with me anyway. We take turns to tease each other and then he can show his playful side. A little strange but I find myself looking forward to the days he comes into the lab and we get to talk. Unfortunately he only comes in on Wed and Fri.
