A normal week :)

Well, things have very much settled down. Other than a minor issue with comcast, we can almost forget all of the troubles of the first two weeks. And that's exactly what I intend to do! So in an effort to not dwell on it, I'll give a quick summary of some things that have happened to me lately:

1. Carly's Graduation. I made a quick trip home to nebraska thursday night - sunday morning and was able to spend time with Rob and the fam and help with the graduation party. I'm so proud of her and was glad to be there to make the party go smoothly! Although I will say... ice cream didn't look nearly as appetizing for a few days following the party. I was on a sugar overdose after the party i think! :)

2. Work. Things are finally settling down. My project is slowly picking up, but i'm working hard to make sure that i'm not bored this summer. I really want a challenge and want to show how much i know because General mills is such a fun place to work! Some of my favorite things about it:
* They give away free food like its nothing. I've got taco kits, chinese food kits, cereal galore, fruit by the foot, granola bars, fiber bars, chex mix... it just keeps coming in. Makes grocery shopping a little nicer. :)
* I won $50 at the intern picnic on Tuesday. That was a great way to end my day! And the funniest thing about it was that as she called my number, I was saying "you know, i never win these things so I don't get my hopes up and then I never get let down!" it was really funny.
* We're doing a scavenger hunt in downtown minneapolis tomorrow. Hopefully the weather is nice and it should be a good time. (Cross your fingers)

3. Since I'm not moving or going home this weekend, this will be my first weekend to truly explore minneapolis. I am a bit homesick and have been sad that I have had a few boring weeks, so I just need some fun to spice up my life. :)

4. Skype. I love it and it's amazing. Long distance would be so much harder without it. At any point in our apartment, you're bound to hear skype going on somewhere. A lot if times we'll yell "somebody's skype is going off!!!" and we all run to it. <3 skype. :)

5. I'm finally back to working out and I'm thinking my goal of getting healthier might be a possibility. One bonus to being bored alot? I work out all the time! Running is become easier and much less of a chore, and I've discovered the gym at general mills has great weight machines, so I'm getting back into lifting (part of the whole "im gonna have a well-rounded workout regimen" plan i decided was necessary this spring).

Well that's all for now. Rob says I've been writing novels on here, and I suppose he may be right... so im going to work on keeping my next post short. Hehe!
