H. and I had fun putting the elliptical together this weekend. Well, I had fun helping while H. did most of the work. But I did get to grease the moving parts! Yesterday I tried it out for the first time and I think I really like it - as much as you can like exercise. Today I don't have a ticket for the exercise train because I tweaked my knee somehow bringing groceries up the stairs to our apartment. My knee just hurts when I stand up or when I put a good amount of weight on it when it's bent. The degrees between 30-70 are particularly difficult. Hopefully a day or two of rest will rebuild whatever is faulty there.
The second go-around at lasagna was 90% successful. H.'s only suggestion is that we add cheese to the meat layer so that when you cut into it, it won't fall apart when you pick it up. But other than that, all around deliciousness.
I took my old license plate off of my car this weekend. I'm kinda sad that I don't have a passive aggressive license plate anymore, but the new plate looks great since it's so shiny and new. Now I've just gotta take the stickers off the front windshield when it's not quite so hot as to evaporate all of the rubbing alcohol.
After writing up my resume, I was surprised to realize that if I had taken one more class, I would have had a degree in Molecular Biology, not just Biology. Turns out the coursebook that I had been using to determine what classes were required for what degrees hasn't been updated since '06. In other words, I've been using the same coursebook to determine my degree that I used starting freshman year. But you know what has been updated? A website that has the degree plan on it but is in no way linked to the Biology department webpage. Now that is freaking brilliant. Maybe the school could work on keeping an academic adviser for more than a year and then I could have asked mine questions. It's sad that I seemed to know more about the coursework than they did since I'd "been in the business" longer than them. Ugh.
Aaaaaaaaanyways, I am greatly looking forward to our Fourth of July vacation that is speedily approaching. I can't wait to spend some time in our homeland with the people we love. <3
Ooooh, where are you going?
ReplyDeleteWe're flying out to Texas. :D
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteI had a really good ATEC advisor but then she up and became the assistant dean. Grrr. Now I have some older woman without a clue at all. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe it. My sister was led pretty seriously astray by her advisor down at A&M. She was trying to graduate with a Bachelors in English and her teaching certificate. Advisor failed to let her know that she was missing 2 classes she needed to have the certificate at graduation. Aaand by then she was married and her husband was still in school and she needed to be working full time, not dropping more money on school. D'oh.
