2011
My New Year's resolution is that people will note the difference between your and you're. I digress.
Welcome back, Laura! Just trying to give myself a little credit, it has been a while.
How was everyone's holiday? Mine was wonderful, spending time in Michigan was lovely. I got to catch up with my dear friends and family. Made taking this job have a second thought because my people mean so, so much to me. Second week back in Milwaukee, and I am starting to get back into the swing of things.
I did some deep cleaning and organizing to help get my life together, it needed it, my apt. is totally ready for visitors! Milwaukee has a lot to offer, I may start adding uploads of the cool restaurants I try with people, maybe that will entice you to visit?
Much love.

Kohlar Express
One month into my job as of now, crazy! Things have been going very well so far, I'm actually loving living alone, just don't let me become a cat woman. Let's be honest though, it's me, I'm not sitting there alone very often.
Milwaukee is a fun city to be in on the weekends, I have been hanging out with some great people from work, and have made some friends outside of work as well, the couple I stayed with the first week I moved has been great to have here too.
My training class at work has been interesting, there's quite a mix of people, but lots who like to hang out after work and on the weekends, so that has been much of my friend base thus far.
Cheers to finally receiving a pay check, and now I truly understand the phrase TGIF.

Life update!
My, what a bad blogger I am! It has been more than two months, woops. Very much like me though, compulsive to start something and not continue, not this time, ha.
I am almost done with my thesis! I have the oral defense scheduled for Sept. 8, 2010 at 2pm EST, please attend if possible, I would love the support. What a relief that will be to have completed, and then I will be a Master's student.
I have been receiving emails from Kohl's about my starting date/time/information, it is starting to actually sink in that I am moving and starting my job soon, crazy. I am feeling a lot of mixed emotions at the moment.
I have been visiting CMU often, although I am not an official resident any longer. My roommate (Taylor) ha, has been housing me while I stay. It should feel as though I need to attend class while there, but it really doesn't, it is strange, but I think I am ready to move on from good 'ol Peezy.
My room is a crazy disaster at the moment, as I hadn't packed anything until the morning my parents were coming to move me out of my house there, so unorganized packing leads to a big mess, try not to do that again, that's for sure.
Better get going on that, peace.

Exciting Week!
Hello followers! Hope you're weekend was nice and plentiful. I am blogging because I am excited about the upcoming week. :o)
I am currently at Biggby working on my thesis with my saving grace Chihiro (who is moving this week to start her job in Columbus). I will miss her so much as she is working on her thesis at the moment as well. It is nice to have someone next to you pushing you, although our topics couldn't be any more different!
My thesis is going well and should be wrapping up soon, I am editing my literature review to be sure all of my committee members are satisfied with the different topics within... 56 pages at the moment, ugh! Keep chugging... at least delicious coffee typically comes with working on it, and some nice blog updated too, eh?!
I am going to a Tigers game with Holly and her friends from work on Wednesday for an early birthday present. Finances are low at the moment, so everything is turning into a birthday present lately, even though it isn't until July! What can I say, I am a bit manipulative! Also hanging with Chris before in Midland! May take a stab at roller blading, but will be tough without my gal Lindsay, she is there to catch me, as I fall about 50 times every time.
I am apartment searching with Jenny in GR for her housing next year on Thursday! I will be the best little assistant ever, hehe... hopefully she buys me lunch for my birthday, kidding. Then going to a bridal shower at night.. then headed up to visit my favorite little married couple until Saturday- Mom is joining Friday night and we are going to sample wine, yummy!
Finally, Sunday, the family will have a gathering for Father's Day!
I have been reading a ton lately, and suggestions for some good books?
xx Enjoy your week!

Memorial Weekend
Last week, I went to Charlevoix to spend some time in the sun, Taylor was a great host and his beach is amazing. We ate out multiple times and had a wonderful bonfire. His parents are great too.
I had a fabulous Memorial weekend. My dear friends Karrah and Andrea are living in Indiana for the summer/year and came to the family gathering. We went to the Indiana 500 and my man won the race, yippie! My Dad spotted the money to enter, so a payback was necessary for that.
Jayne, Keelia, and I got a notice about four days ago telling us that our house for the summer was getting demolished by this week, so we had to get everything out. I am happy to say that we are all settled into a new place and getting along well. It is nice living with my sister, as I need to soak up as much time as I can before my big move in September.
So with my past week of globetratting, it is time to get serious again with my thesis. I am in the lab at the moment analyzing some data, sounds interesting, eh?
Much Love, xx, Laura
