I am trying to expand my horizons! Last week I bought a cantaloupe, I have never cut up one so it was cool to try it. This week I bought a papaya but it was much more expensive. This weekend was the Taste of Bloomington, an annual festival for showcasing the city's restaurants. Unfortunately it does not eliminate chains so Bruster's and ( Read more... )

Victoria, a friend from school, was driving back to Connecticut before I would be back to visit, so we decided to meet for the day in Indy. We went to the zoo and got there pretty early. The zoo is right on the river and not very large, but it has plenty of animals. The best part was all the shows. Besides the dolphin show, there were a lot of ( Read more... )

One afternoon at the beginning of June all four of us went to Andy's house to go swimming. It's really his parents' house but he still goes there all the time, pretty much everyday. We were going to have a barbecue and go swimming in his pool. We grilled hot dogs and had mac n cheese and I made a banana smore. You take a banana and keep the ( Read more... )

The week before Mike came seemed to go by so slow. I couldn't wait to see him and show him my Indiana life. The workdays seemed to take forever. We worked every day that week and got a lot done. Lora and I hung out, cooking and shopping of course. I have finished a lot of books. I read Slumdog Billionaire, the second Twilight, and Benjamin ( Read more... )

Things here are going really well with the assistants. The beginning was kind of rough, getting all the utilities switched over, signing the sublease, figuring out where to park the fourth car (since we are only allowed to have 3 people), and not being able to vacuum at all. Lora came Monday and we hit it off. We had hung out a little bit before ( Read more... )

Wednesday night Joel was going to hang out with me, he goes to school down here and he has a house here too. He had to work though so I ended up going shopping so I could make dinner instead. A lot of the town has changed since last year, and since I live more towards the middle it is harder to know the fastest way to get places. There are a lot ( Read more... )

Student Symposium back in March. Because Kyle and I had to go to an annual conference for our study, we had to make a poster. The student symposium was the day before so I said we should just use the same one and can do both. I had never been in a symposium, not at Allegheny. It was kind of fun, I like showing off and we even won an award! ( Read more... )

So after staying the night in Greensboro, we got up and drove to Raleigh first. On the way we stopped at a Trader Joe's because I wanted to stock up on nuts and fruit. I buy bulk amounts of them there because they are super cheap. We also got a fruit and a nut mix for snacking. We headed downtown to the Market because I wanted to go look at ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in almost a month, eep. I am going to try to catch up best I can, but between this week and the one before spring break, plus vacation, it seems like it will be a novel before I am done. That only makes me put it off more. Ok, so the first week of March ( Read more... )

This is a quote from a documentary about how global warming is no big deal and the media is using it to make us hysterical. You know, like who wouldn't mind having it a little warmer? http://www.noteviljustwrong.com/ It makes me really mad because there are a ton of things that are ( Read more... )
