So my exam yesterday went really well. I found it pretty easy – and realized how much I miss exams. Yes, I know. I’m a loser. A nerdy one at that. 
Then the graduate student federation had their holiday ball. It was SO much fun! Of course we were super smart and remembered to take zero pictures… but I felt fabulous in my dress. Maybe I’ll try to convince Pat to get re-dressed so we can take a picture this morning…
There was a raffle – and each ticket you had a guess as to how many Ependorf tubes were in this jar. I guess 112, 87 and 72. My friend guessed 112 too! How random! My friend also won the big door prize – a large basket of goodies. Then my other friend won a sweatshirt. And then it was my turn! I won a $50 gift certificate at a posh little clothing store. SWEET! Our table CLEANED UP the prizes! 
THEN. They revealed how many tubes were in the jar – 87!!! NO WAY! I WON! Again! This time $20 at a coffee shop.
So, all in all a VERY good night! Now today, my mom is coming down with my grandparents for my cousin’s birthday – so my mom will be staying the night. Fun!
