I'm one step closer to being just where I want to be.

What an exciting day in the parent's lounge! This time around there were TONS of parents to chat with! I talked to a dad from Maine and it was exciting for me because I've always wanted to go to Maine. His son is going to be studying architecture here and his daughter is studying at the University of Chicago, so it works out perfectly for his kids to travel to and from home! It was just fun to hear parents' stories and share ours.

I'm leaving work a couple of hours early today and I'm very excited for the reason why: I get to do research this fall (hopefully)! I talked to Dr. Orgel, my biology professor from the spring semester, and he said I could probably do research for him during the school year! I'm going in today with two of his graduate students to become familiar with the lab and what they're researching (if I'm not mistaken, I believe it has something to do with diabetes research.) Hopefully during the month of August I can get into the lab every now and again (his lab is already full with students so space is limited) and then if all goes to plan I might get to do research during the year! If you are unable to tell (sarcasm) I can barely put my excitement about this potential opportunity into words!

I think my circuits test went relatively well last night! I definitely don't have as high of a level of anxiety as I did after my first midterm in that class. We'll just see how it goes. I was also excited because I got to see Jon for a few hours last night. I made this AMAZINGLY delicious chicken pasta dish (that sounds very immodest-- not my intention. I was just surprised by it). All I did was fry up chicken with sliced garlic and ground oregano. I also made pasta with lots of butter (soo healthy), a little bit of garlic powder, some oregano, salt, and pepper. I was shocked at how wonderful it tasted with such minor ingredients put into it. I want more tonight!

This should be a good weekend. I'm supposed to study with my friend, Adam, for our calc test on Thursday. I also intend on reviewing some material for my ECE final. I'm going to the delt's tea thing today and tomorrow I think Jon and I are going to try to go to the beach for a little bit. Who knows, really, I just want to relax a little bit before Monday starts.

On that note I'm going to head back into the office and see if I can find some work to do. I should update the blog on Monday :)
