Back in Mount Pleasant

And we're back in Mount Pleasant! Granna and Mum and I had a lovely time shopping in Lansing this morning. Eric had a...less lovely time. And now we're here for a couple of days, watching movies and chilling. Still not sure exactly how Eric is getting back to Kalamazoo, but whatever...

Israel Monies

I have been award the Levy Scholarship through the Jewish Studies program...the one that pretty much everyone gets. Sadly, I didn't get the Slade Scholarship (of which there are far fewer). They had more folks than usual apply this year...
Anyways, there's at least a bit of money for my summer. Have yet to hear from various other scholarships...here's hoping!

Woohoo!

"And another one down, and another one down, and another one bites the dust..."
Got my Madison honors option paper on the social construction of the nuclear taboo completed this morning. And then Todd and I went to Whole Foods for lunch and I had the most amazing sampling of yummy veggie mixes.

Love spring break.
So far, I have accomplished:
Application for internship at the GenCen (Center for Gender in a Global Context) next year
Write-up of the honors option for my anthropology gender roles class
Paper for my honors option in epidemiology
Paper for my honors option in Madison international security

Woohoo!

And now...do I do more work or be a naughty little fun-haver? (Pathetically enough, I am the type of person who could do both. Heehee. I'm such a geek.)

In Chicago

In good ol' Chicago. Well, not really. In Deerfield, with some of my favorite people. And actually managing to get some work done! :)

Thank you, microbiology

Wrote my honors option paper for epidemiology today...and used some lecture notes from my microbiology class! Wasn't useless after all. (I didn't really think it was. Just that memorizing it all, when I can simply look it up on my computer as I'm writing up a report, is.)

Spring Break!

And it is officially spring break! I'm currently at the Ellises. Grampa is driving Alec and I to Battle Creek tomorrow to get on the train for Chicago and go see family friends. We went to PF Chang's tonight; I was able to find a yummy veggies-and-noodles dish. They had a huge chocolate cake that looked incredible...someone named Becca will most definitely be visiting again after Lent is over.
Four weeks and one day!

A few memos

To a few of my fellow students.
Firstly, to the girl I panicked while opening a door in Landon dorm while wearing my black hood all tied up so I looked rather like a robber: Sorry for startling you.
And secondly, to a boy in the Wilson window: I understand that it's the Thursday immediately preceding Spring Break. Nonetheless, I feel like it's not truly necessary to be drunk at 4:30 pm and yelling out the window at girls on their bikes. Just saying.
