SUMMER!

The forecast is saying highs in the upper 70s out here in Burlington for the rest of the week!  The ski bums are a little bummed, but I'm ecstatic!  The winter has really been a breeze -- I think there were only a couple of weeks that it was too cold to run outside.

All this summer weather has put me in the summer frame of mind.  As part of my program, we're required to do an internship or write a thesis.  I had my fill of 72-page papers last spring, so I'm opting out of that one. Plus getting paid for the summer vs. having to pay for another semester of grad school.  That's a no-brainer.

The whole internship process was kind of a pain in my behind, but I had a couple phone interviews the week before and the week of spring break and I'm excited to say I was offered a position at the South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office!  Woot!  So I'll be back in the mid-west for the summer and that means any of you who haven't seen Mt. Rushmore yet (and I thought that drive was a requirement for all MN families) you need to come visit me!
