It can stop raining ANY TIME

Oh man, sorry for my lack of day-to-day updating. School has been keeping me busy along with homework, and aside from that each day is remarkably the same, limiting any potential for new Blogger material. I'm in class most of the morning and afternoon, and I come home each night to not-so-hot dorm food and homework. I enjoy it tremendously--this is precisely the kind of environment in which I thrive--but I doubt anyone else would find it particularly enthralling. That aside, my dorm room is looking as good as a dorm room could I suppose--the futon is up and my cable is finally hooked up (so I can watch my Nip/Tuck baby! :D), and yesterday I hung curtains over the window. I got a fancy rug for the floor and hung up a few more wall decorations. Aside from the cement block walls, you'd almost think it was my bedroom back home.

Class has been good overall. I rocked out my first official grade as a grad student (Clinical Anatomy/Physiology lab quiz). I've become increasingly attached to the idea of having class each day with scores of individuals with the same goals as me. Even more enjoyable are the classes themselves--everything is specific to my field of study and there's no extra "crap" in the form of gen. eds. floating around and smothering me with pointless busy work. Although as Beth says, "Any day we don't have Pharmaceutics is a good day!"

I visited Kzoo for the first time since I left this past weekend and it was great. I got to spend plenty of time with Mike and Hobbes, get all my homework done in peace and quiet, and sleep in my own bed. I also got to celebrate Katie's 21st birthday with her and visit with Shruti for lunch before I left. :)

Time already feels like it's going by fast. My next three weekends are filled, and Lord knows I'll have plenty to do during the weeks in between. I never feel bored, and the loneliness is fading away too--although I still miss Kalamazoo, my friends, and Mike every single day. I'm really happy here, but I still can't wait to be done.

I long for the stability of one place to call "home."

Home is where the heart is...and yours you not only keep with you..but also share with your friends.

What i'm saying is...So your heart is really EVERYWHERE...yea..you're heart is really quite abnormal. Maybe its a mutation or something. That actually might explain a lot of your 'nerdiness' cause your brain has to compensate for all these hearts floating around. :D Ok..promise..i'm done creative-babbling. *miss thee TREMENDOUSLY* *treasures heart piece with me* :)

I think what Shruti is trying to say is that she would totally do you.
