In other news, it's been a month since I last posted, which is bad on me. At some point it gets hard to bring yourself to catch up on all that's happened so it's just easier to not.
Alright so here goes nothing. The last weekend in June I helped move Megan back from Madison to Rochester. I drove down to Rochester and then dad and I drove to Madison. We stayed there Friday night and then loaded up the U Haul and headed out Saturday morning. We had to wait forever for her stupid subleaser to finally show up to get the keys and then I was tasked with driving Megan's car back to Rochester. About 5 minutes into the drive is when I discovered that the air conditioning wasn't working and it was in the 90's temperature wise. I couldn't even easily roll down the windows because they were all hand cranks! I eventually couldn't take it and left the slower vehicles behind and hauled ass to the KFC where we'd planned to have lunch. After lunch I switched vehicles and let Megan drive her own car. Got back to Rochester, unloaded, and hung out the rest of the night. Back to Minneapolis on Sunday.
The 4th of July was pretty laid back - for the most part I just went over to Nathan's where we grilled out and set off cheap small fireworks at the end of the driveway. The following Saturday was my first time volunteering at Como Zoo. I basically stood outside the ducks/flamingos and told people about them and answered questions. I think it went pretty well.
Thursday the 12th I came in to work early for a biometric screening - all my numbers look good and in the acceptable range (hooray). At lunch I went over to the VA and had cafeteria food with Joe. Got caught up on our news and had a nice lunch just like old times. Afterwards I went to Bldg 49 and met with Dave (the vet at the VA). We had a nice long chat and he agreed to write an evaluation for me - another hooray! The next weekend I drove down to Des Moines to meet my cousin's twin boys. Hung out at the aunt and uncle's, went fishing on the pond, ate good food, and had a nice time. On Sunday I met up with Hannah at the Des Moines Art Center. We chatted, got caught up with our lives and our goals, and questioned the artistic value of colored water in empty plastic pop bottles. That was really fun, and I miss having her around to hang out with.
This week I went to a Vet School Application Prep Seminar at the St. Paul Campus. It was incredibly helpful, but it meant I have a lot of editing to do on my application. I've been working on that for the most part. I went to see Dark Knight Rises on Friday night - it made me cry. Yesterday was another Como day - although a morning thunderstorm took out the power and caused me to wake up late. This weekend has been pretty lame - haven't done much other than stuff on Netflix and eat food.
I'm now on a new episode of Animal Hoarding and this woman has 84 cats and man is that place nasty...
