Name:

I'm the wife of a biology grad student working on figuring out where the heck I'm going in life, somewhere between falling on my ass and a "tada" moment right now...

Livin' and lovin' it in Sheboygan

Well I'm finally officially moved in! I got here Sunday after spending a weekend up at Megan's cabin. God that was fun! We went jet-skiing, tubing of the back of the jet-ski, and pontooning. I want to own a jet-ski if I ever make more than $4000 a year as a poverty-stricken college student. It was really good to get to spend time with Megan, too. We haven't seen each other much considering we're living in different towns, and now that I'm on the other side of the state, I doubt I'd get to see her much at all... So anyway, I got here on Sunday night, and unpacked my boxes. TJ was wonderful enough to empty out some of his drawers and a whole side of his cabinet so I could have a place to put my stuff. I ended up having to evict him out of another drawer in order to fit my t-shirts, but we got it all to work out. TJ told me that our "rent" we're paying means we're cooking supper every Tues/Thurs, and helping vacuum, dust, and sweep; basically doing everything but sell our bodies on the street corner. I like this idea better than paying, though. We can finally start saving for grad school/wedding/honeymoon/apartment (not quite in that order, but you get the idea).
Monday morning came all too fast. I haven't woken up at 6:10 am in a very very long time. I've stayed up until 5 am a few times, especially during 2nd semester last year, but never up and at 'em by 7. I also never pulled a 12-hour shift at a dental office before. That was insane! I worked from 7-7 on Mon, yesterday was 7-5, and today is 7-6. I'm lucky and have Thursdays off, but then Friday it's 7-3:30. Why on God's green earth did whoever decided to make us start at 7 and go so long into the day? If anything, start us at 8, go to 5, and have us work all 5 days of the midweek, or switch Friday's work day to Thursday so we at least have a 3-day weekend that way! I wonder what genius thought that schedule up...
