As the title suggests, the end of my summer research experience is drawing near. I have a week and a half left in the office and then I begin Graduate orientation and training. I'm getting impatient, but I think it's just because I effing LOVE school, so I'm getting pumped to be in classes again. I'm fairly confident on what I want to do in grad school, but per everyone's advice, I will shop around just to be sure.
I'm moving twice in the next two weeks, but then I can finally settle in. I just found out that my room at my apartment has the biggest closet. It's not like I have a ton of clothes, but I am going to appreciate the storage space. I think I'm going to get a periodic table shower curtain like this:
Why not?
I have to say that over the last month I've grown fond of Kimmie Jin. My new English-speaking roommate brought two chihuahuas with her and they are IN LOVE with Kimmie Jin. Last night he sat in the living room with me, cuddling the smaller dog, and he literally giggled the whole time. It was adorable. He even started to talk to me more in mostly understandable English. I won't really miss that apartment though. I don't really like living with dogs, no matter how cute they are. Just because I think this is funny, here's a shot of me and the bigger chihuahua:
From there, I go to live with one of the guys in my group for two weeks. He's got a nice house and CATS! He also has the entire Ender Wiggins series by Orson Scott Card, so I'm pretty pumped to have access to those as well.
I actually have been crocheting a lot lately, but only on one project. I'm bound and determined to use up my yarn and the blanket that I'm almost done with is helping tremendously. Here is a picture I took a few nights ago, just to give you an idea.
I'm imagining that I will be done with it in the next week. I only have one more stripe to complete, plus a border. I'm debating on whether I want to keep it for myself or give it to my niece. I think she would like the colors, but it's big and nice and I like it!
As always, thanks for reading.
Cheers
