Aesthetics don't hurt one bit.

Man was I wrong about what it is that Dr. Orgel researches! He is world renown for his discoveries/work with COLLAGEN, not diabetes! After sitting down with two of his main lab students for a couple of hours, I became extremely fascinated with the different aspects of collagen research they are conducting! I am going to try to sit down with Dr. Orgel this week to discuss whether or not I can play a long-term part in his lab. We'll see what happens:)

This past weekend was amazing! Friday night Jon and I hung out, and on Saturday I went to the eye doctor. Turns out my vision has gotten worse (could be due to the fact that I haven't worn my glasses nor have I gone to the eye doctor in about 5 years) so I had to order new glasses. I'm kind of excited, though, because the glasses are brown on the outside but a purplish pink on the inside! Yayyy. Saturday night Jon and I went on a date to this place called Select Cuts in Lincoln Park-- it was AMAZING. I love going on actual dates with him, not to mention I always have such a good time when I'm in his company. I really lucked out with that one. On Sunday I went to church with Ellen, Jessica, Shea, and Jon, and after church Jon and I went to the grocery store to pick up fruit for him. Sunday afternoon/evening Jon and I hung out with Shea, Sasha, and Adam and watched marathons of Law and Order: SVU and then it was "WE Go Bridal Night". I also did calc homework. Overall, it was an uneventful but marvelous weekend.

In calculus today, Emily and I couldn't believe our last real class is on Wednesday. The summer semester went so fast, which is good and bad. I'm not ready for summer vacation to be over yet because this summer has been so wonderful (and I haven't really done much!) The good news about summer semester ending, though, is I can spend more time working and I get to go home in less than 2 weeks. I can't wait to see my friends and family, and every day I get more and more excited to go home.

Our 2nd summer open house is this Saturday and it's supposed to be epic. Sandra said there might be 200 students plus their families. We're actually trying to get other students to come in on Saturday to help out because we've lost a few of our workers to ROTC summer training and vacations and whatnot.

Alright, they're doing a mailing in the basement that I should go down and assist with. Hasta luego!
