A typical conversation:
Me: You know Dr. Bridgewater?
Fellow Grad Student: Yea.
Me: I think she's fabulous. I'm her biggest fan, and she doesn't even know who I am.
FGS: I know! Me too!
Me: Didn't she discover something really important?
FGS: Yeah, like nuclear Bmp2. It was published in Cell or Nature or something like that.
Me: OMG!!!!!
But seriously. Dr. Bridgewater has it all--brains, beauty, career, family, etc. She's my Woman Crush Wednesday candidate.
Just a weird girl writing about sometimes funny, sometimes serious things...

Hiatus Ceased
So my mom has been asking me all summer to post on this, and I was just too lazy until my friend Kellianne also suggested that I write again. Well, I guess that was the kicker. It turns out I only need two people to convince me to do something. It's like my mom is an enzyme, and Kellianne is the cofactor.
Hi, I'm Tanya, and I'm going to make as many scientific comparisons as I can in this blog because that's my life lately.
A glorious thing happened today. Let me preface this by saying that I love BYU.
Sometimes I don't agree with its policies--namely the leggings under a shorter skirt rule. (Wah, wah, wah, I know.) Not a huge deal, but I always saw it as an effort someone was making to be more covered and/or modest. I feel like BYU saw it as people trying to push the line. With that logic then, these subversive tactics needed to be be stopped by wasting paper--I mean, putting up posters--all over campus informing people that leggings don't make up the difference between your skirt length and your evil knees.
So we complied. Because, you know, you have to take tests.
But then. Skinny jeans rose in popularity and morphed into different colored, spandex-cotton-y like pants that still retained some form of jean-liness, but denied the thickness thereof. And heavens to Betsy, how do we classify (or vilify) jeggings???
And then I think the fashion industry thought, "whatthehell, let's not beat around the bush." And then simple leggings as pants hit the shelves. And I think BYU threw in the towel.
Which brings me to today. I waltzed in the testing center with just leggings (and a shirt of course). For the win.
