Green Bay

Last Sunday I was woken up by a phone call from none other than Nathan, and we decided to meet at a park (with Jackie) to chat. Had another nice long 3 hour chat (after getting rained on) and decided to remain friends. So hooray!

The rest of the week passed by with little excitement other than getting to do 2 days of cell injection surgeries and one day of dissections - which are the most interesting parts of this job! So work was exciting.

Friday I woke up at 6am and was in to work by 6:30am in order to do the cell injections with Katie and be done in time to then drive all the way over to Green Bay, WI. Surgeries went well (finished earlier than expected) and then I drove first to Eau Claire and had lunch at Culver's with Megan (delicious). Spent some time there, helped her get motivated to pack up some clothes, and then headed out again to get to Green Bay.

I finally arrived at my destination (Kristin's house!) and had a happy reunion with her. Her mom made a delicious dinner, then we talked and played MarioKart on her Wii before heading off to bed.

The next morning I overslept and barely saw Kristin before she had to head out to her graduation ceremony. Had a good breakfast (waffles), then the rest of the family (mom, dad, brother, brother's girlfriend) left to attend the ceremony. I then showered and read pretty much the entire time until they got back. We ate lunch (subs) and then Kristin and I played Tangled (the game) on the Wii until it was time to get ready to go out to dinner. Her aunt and uncle and grandmother joined us at dinner and for a bit afterwards. Then the "kids" (brother, girlfriend, Kristin, and I) drove their grandmother home and then headed to the bowling alley where we played 3 games. The first game I played terribly but the second two I managed to break 100! Back to Kristin's and we played a quick round of MarioParty on the Wii and then back to bed.

Overslept again, but managed to eat breakfast with everyone (some sort of egg bake). Packed up my things, acquired some new books and food from the generous Nick family, and headed out. Stopped in Eau Claire again for a break and hung out with Megan for a bit before resuming the drive home.

Got home yesterday (Sunday) and managed to wash my new sheets from Target (the old ones became holey somehow) and that was about all I did that was moderately productive.

Now I'm at work, and it's going to be a slow day. But I had an exciting weekend!
