I have been blessed and will hopefully be doing research my FIRST year. Can I just die? I’m so damn elated. My friend (older Cal student) told me that she had a friend (hydrologist) who was looking for help. I just want to die of how happy I am.

This is exactly what I want.

The only drawback would be that I won’t be able to join many other activities/orgs.

I face the possibility of not joining/auditioning for:

 -Surf Club

 -The Golden Overtones

 -Cal Band/Straw Hat Band

But I can’t say no to research. I haven’t even started and I already LOVE my school.
