Hello, summer!

Sorry for the brief break there -- I took a few days off to finish up the semester, tackle a massive to-do list and get the plague (which I'm still recovering from).


Before anything else, congratulations to all the new grads out there! How was commencement? Do you have a, gulp, P-L-A-N?

My finals week, surprisingly, came and went without too much excitement. I had a couple of things due, including a big (fake) grant proposal, and only one exam -- biostatistics -- that I took while on a mega-dose of cold medicine (I walked in glossy eyed and slurring my speech, according to my friends) and thought was super easy. That was not, however, the consensus, which led me to a good few days of worrying. But I picked up my exam this week, and apparently either a) it was easy after all, or b) I am a biostats genius. I think I have a good idea of which is true and which is not...

We celebrated the completion of our first year of grad school with some not-so-healthy festivities...


...and then I went to bed for a few days while the festivities, dinners, galas, ceremonies raged on.

But I did get out of bed for a Minneapolis visit by the fabulous almost-Dr. Lyndsey who wanted a tour of the city.

And for my pride and joy's first birthday.

And, yesterday, for a trip to the doctor for some codeine cough syrup and antibiotics.

May term classes start on Tuesday, so my fulltime job until then is getting healthy!
