1) It has been some time since my last post. I have been busy as of late. I started a new rotation in my program. I'm still out here in WI, which isn't too bad.

2) Last weekend I went home to see Sandy graduate from grad school. I was so proud of her. She got two awards, a community leadership award. And an academic award for getting a 4.0.

This was the first time we had seen each other in three months. This distance has been absolutely awful. Sometimes I get pretty frustrated, and I know she does too.

3) Last week was also the 10th anniversary of my dad passing away. I was thinking back and got sad. But then I made a list of things that I've done since he passed away. And I think he would be happy and proud of my accomplishments.

4) I also moved into a new place a few weeks ago. Not too far from where I was. I am living in a basement bedroom, which I like more than I thought I would.
