I had a walk down memory lane this weekend. I went home to Jamestown for the first time since February. My parents are in the middle of a huge home improvement project. One of the parts of the project is refinishing the hardwood floor that was buried beneath carpet in my bedroom. Because of this, I had to clean out my closet. I have been avoiding this task for the better part of ten years. It was a lot of work, but fun as well. I found things that I had totally forgotten about. I also found stuff that I would have like to forget about! My weekend was not all work. Mom, Dad, and I also included a little breaking and entering into our weekend. We travelled out to Jamestown Reservior to see my cousins Doug and Gary. They just bought a new cabin out there, and my parents wanted to see it. When we got out there, we found out from their neighbors that we had just missed them. The neighbors then proceeded to allow us to go into the empty cabin AND the empty (but really cool) cabin next door. Apparently they don't lock their doors out there in case the neighbors need to get in (wouldn't giving hte neighbors spare keys be safer? Only in ND would this happen!)
Today I discovered that I am currently uninsured. Some bureucrat at the U didn't fill out a job description form, so my health insurance was not renewed. Susan, the MD/PhD goddess is taking care of the problem for me. Boy am I happy I her to help me cut through some of the administrative crap at this school. Hopefully Karen's program assistant will be a quick study.
Well, I have to get to reading. I am studying all day today so I don't feel overwhelmed in lab meeting and class today. I can't start any experiments until Wednesday because John (who know where everything is at) is out of town until tomorrow.
Oh, Matt turns 25 this week. We aren't doing anything too special.
