IN: Only I had no lemonade . But afterwards I had the bruises on my head and shoulders to prove it . Photo stolen from somewhere ; -)At this point of the journey Doreen and I , we had had the conscientious task of watching over our boats that were drifting peacefully on the water while the others had taken refuge in a beer garden . Poor me and the pathetic banana to munch on again ... * shakes head * ( But I had Skittles which I did not share except with Doreen .
What is the reason I would n't share my skittles ?

OUT: everyone left to go to the beer garden without me ( exept Doreen ) .

IN: Thursday was pretty awesome . On Wednesday , working on Noel 's research committee really made me eel a lot better , because I felt like I was capable of working on a research project . Everyone on it was incredibly nice and I spent the rest of the day socializing with my cohort . Then we headed over to the LGBTQ Center for a get - to - know - you picnic and I met some other cool people . Plus , one of the RA 's fromt he project and I became good friends there . So on Thursday , I spoke to Noel about being late to the future meetings because of class , and he also asked me how the job search was going and he took down the names of the people who were hiring .
