Birthday Weekend

This weekend was fun. Friday night, Sara, Kimmie, & I went to a bar in Mount Joy for a little while. Saturday a bunch of us went out for dinner. Most of the weekend Sara and I lounged around relaxing and having an OC marathon. It was nice. I don't remember that last time I just sat around doing nothing. Sunday was the orchestra concert, which went well. (I was only playing in the first song so I didn't stick around). I then did work for most of the afternoon and evening. Tonight was the percussion ensemble concert, which also went well.
The rough draft of the research article for the first part of my research is due tomorrow. I was talking to my prof, and I need to test about 10 more people this week to see if some of the marginally significant results are actually statistically significant. The final draft is due next week.
I still have a lot of work to do, but only 2 more weeks of classes, a week of finals, then off to Ireland. I'm really excited about that!

Here's a few pictures from the weekend:

Etown Jr/Sr

Our Jr/Sr Formal was last night. It was lots of fun. Everyone gets a hotel room. You go around 4 to get dressed and hang out, dinner was around 7:30 except we didn't eat until almost 8:30, but it was delicious. Then we went and visited people and went to the dance around 12. I went with Amanda, Mel, & Sara. Here's a few pictures:

07 April 2006

it's been a while

not too much has been going on.
The EPA conference was a good experience. It was nice seeing how it's set up and what other people are researching and getting to know people in the department.

The Thailand trip filled up almost immediately, so I guess I wasn't meant to go to Thailand next year.

I'm looking into doing a directed study next semester, which is kind of like an internship 2 days a week, but I wouldn't get paid and it would be for credit.

The Emotion Show (dance) went very well last weekend. I'm a little sad it's done, but someone's offering jazz classes once a week so I think I might do that.

Tomorrow is the Jr/Sr Formal. Amanda, Sara, Mel & I all got a room together, so that will be lots of fun. I'll post pics of that sometime next week.

Other than that, nothing big has happened lately. Lots of work as usual, but nothing out of the ordinary.

hope you're all doing well!
