With the end of today, my wonderful, carefree, summer will be coming to an end. There will be no more road trips, random events, or any otherwise sponteous happenings. While the weather here might still be relatively summery, the general summer feel will be starting to wane. The cycle of the seasons has come right back around and is quickly approaching the “beginning of the semester” period. This shall be an interesting year for me. As a new grad sudent I am not required to take a full course load. Instead, I will be a lab rat, researching a cure to all that ails you in my lab of science. In addition I will be taking up my new post lording over the undergraduates as a graduate assistant who duties will include running labs and genrally manage the ruckus that undergrads cause (breaking columns and such).
I also have a few other goals in mind. Since I have been road-tripping like a cross country trucker, my running miles have suffered just a wee litle bit. Now that the car will once again be relegated to city roads, I plan to give my legs the workout they have been craving, which means……..MILES, MILES, MILES!!!! Also, I am delving back in to my neglectd musical roots. In addition to resurrecting my saxophone I am taking on a new challenge. I am going to learn how to play the guitar. Have no fear, you will definately be hearing all about my progress. I just got the guitar from Wes (check out my link to his site) and I chose some picks at the local music store. My progress of an hour of strumming yielded a stirring rendition of Amazing Grace while frighening the dog at the same time. You have no idea how pretrified this poor thing was at the sound of my strumming. He let it be known just how perturbed he was by barking along as accompaniment.
So with that I shall be off to partake in my last official, carefree, summer day. A breakfast worth its weight in gold is being cooked for me as we speak, and I was just asked if I like blurberry pancakes.
i do love pancakes
yummmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
