Well, after our sucky water thingy Matt and I have decided to look closer into buying a condo. At least that way we will have a little more control over our situation. We spent some time this weekend driving to find some places that met our critea. Some were nice, but may be too far away, others were just scary. Minneapolis is so strange in that one block can be picture perfect, but the next can look like something out of a horror movie.
Matt has started to coach softball. He is starting to get into it, which is cool. He gets a day off this week due to the Girl's State Basketball tournament. I wish the U let us out for tournaments......
This week is the last week (or two) of GI stuff. I am up on note coop, so I have to pay extra attention to class tomorrow. This stuff is really interesting for me, so it is not too much of a stretch. We have exams next week, followed by a spring break. Hard to think that it will be my last official Spring Break. I get breaks during grad school, but that basically means that I don't have class. Working in the lab is still expected, especially if I want to spend time during the holidays with my family.
Still no word on when I will actually start getting back into the lab. I am just waiting for Dr. V to exclaim "What you aren't in the lab, I thought you started that two weeks ago!"
PET PEEVE: my former lab group at NDSU is driving me nuts right now. I had to spend an hour and half yesterday looking at old data CDs to find information for them. They claim I did not copy the information for them. MY CDS ARE COPIES OF THE COPIES I MADE FOR THEM! I even made triplicates of data from the last two years of my tenure there. It is really frustrating being 500 miles away and trying to get a paper published. I know they really need the citation. Right now, I just want respite from the constant whiny emails.

The Oscars are tonight. I am purposely avoiding the TV as I could easier get sucked into the self-congratulatory glamour that is Hollywood. I think my time tonight is better spent studying (with the occasional peek at the internet to see who has won what). I will splurge on the Oscar fashion issue of People when it comes out.
