Just moving along...


Well this summer is moving along quite fast. I have just 3 more weeks, including this one, left of research. I think I can get finished this week, and then I'll have nothing to do (yay!). I do, however, have to prepare a presentation for the "Undergraduate Research Symposium" (sound the scary music).

Another thing that is being squared away is my living arrangements. As it turns out, I am living with another Dual Degree student for the summer, Eric. We got to talking, and he and his buddy are going to be looking for an apartment because his friend is coming from the same school, but is going to Logan Chiropractor School. Long story short, they asked me to live with them in this amazing place in Chesterfield. We got all set to sign the lease, but I was notified that I already signed the lease to live in the Wash U owned apartments!

So, even though I feel bad for not being able to move with Eric, I'm going to be very close to school, and be surrounded by the Dual Degree people, which will be very cool. As I have heard, being with those guys and making a ton of friends is what this place is all about. Apparently, the Dual Degree students all stick together, have pizza parties and all that good stuff, and it will be a good experience for me. Plus, I can ride my bike to school instead of driving, and that's definitely a plus.


I'll be moving in the 19, scheduling classes the 25, and starting classed the 30th... so that will be a very interesting blogg time. Stay tuned...

Have any comments? Well feel free to post them, I shall reply. Anything you want to know about? Again, I will reply.

p.s.
did you know that a T.V., when turned off, can use up to 40% of the power it would use if it were turned on!? This means, now that I am paying my own bills, the T.V. will be unplugged. (Thanks Tom Brokaw)
