Hard Semester

I'm starting to get the vibe that it's a hard semester here for everyone.  That's why nobody's showing up at clubs anymore.  That's why there's so much drama and complications all of a sudden here.  That's why I find it hard talking to my friends.  I was on edge about everything thus far.  Today I was on edge about a call with an astronomy professor in Arizona who was working with us on research with Be stars.  I wasn't sure what it was about but I didn't think it was going to be anything good given all of the events of this semester thus far.  However, it turned out that he saw that I was interested in that field of research and called to ask if I wanted to be part of a small group that had a few additional roles in the research over the semester.  I unfortunately had to turn him down, since this semester was already a bit much so far, but I said that I would be open to doing so in the future.
