Back to School...

Tomorrow is my first day of school. It sounds kind of funny, actually. I'm back at Notre Dame and I start going to lab tomorrow. I've been out for a year and a half, it feels like forever. Fortunately, I was teaching this last year, so I haven't completely abandoned the school setting. I'm basically redoing my 3rd year, so it seems as though I will be hear about 3 years. I can't wait to finish - how sad is it that I'm already anticipating getting out of here, when I haven't even started up yet?

I'm starting a new project, with a different professor. The professor I was working with before is way too busy now and really, working on a different project will probably be better. I'm learning new equipment and I hope I catch on easily.

I've been steadily working getting settled into my apartment. I love the location, it looks great, and the dogs seem to like it. It's really funny to see them freak out over the geese from the lake behind my apartment. I'm sure they are wondering what they are looking at. I'm happy to report that I'm done with my kitchen - all dishes are in cabinets and I actually have groceries. My living room is sort of done. I've got all the furniture in place, I've got books in the bookcase, but I have random stuff in boxes that I need to figure out a place for. My bathroom looks adorable! I got a black dotted shower curtain with green accents. My bedroom on the other hand is another story. I got my bed put together but I have clothes EVERYWHERE! I'm hoping to put a dent into it tonight, but we'll see. All in all, I think I've had a productive weekend. I even painted my dresser today. :)
