Well, band tour is rapidly approaching. We leave on Thursday for my final tour. It really is the end of something special to me. For the past four years I have been able to spend Spring Break with my best friends (and some of my worst enemies). Band tour is where I really had a chance to get to know Matt, my boyfriend, as he used me as an escape from one of the most annoying people alive during our first tour. Now, we head to the Cities for the weekend. I wish it was someplace else, like Denver or Chicago, but at least it isn't Glendive, MT like last year! Here is the band website. http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/goldstarband

I am at work right now. I am histochemically staining my sheep blood vessels cells. Basically this involved waiting for a timer to beep before I add another chemical to the slide. It is tedious, but looks awesome when the process is finished.

Another thought, I think a rant on my friend Mike's site will be in the works over break. There are a lot of things that run through my head, but I don't have time to write about all of them. My sister did give me an awesome story idea the other day. It is a suspense story based on her recurring nightmare. It is pretty intense, since she wanted to spend the night on my floor last night.....

I am now officially the commencement speaker at the 2004 NDSU Spring Commencement. I also am speaking at the College of Science and Mathematics Scholar's Day banquet. It is pretty weird that I have been picked for these items. I never imagined that I would even have a shot at commencement, as I am NOT in student government. Apparently I did something right......

Oh, here goes the timer again!
