This weekend was a special treat with my sister coming to visit. She lives in Charlotte, so I don't get to see her very often. The plus side is the company she works for has a client in La Crosse, WI- she travels there regularly & will occasionally make weekend trips to Madison. Some of the highlights included Ale Asylum for local brews, Graze for a birthday dinner, hiking, and UW volleyball game.
In other news I collected the last bit of data for my thesis project- woohoo! It included a long day at a lab bench doing a 9 hour assay, but it's done & now it's full steam ahead in finishing the written document and presentation. Grad school- especially the final push- generally leads to a life with not much balance. When my life lacks balance I start daydreaming about "to-do lists" I want to tackle when I finish the challenge at hand. The top 3 so far:
1. start painting again & even take a class
2. take a self defense class
3. hike King's Peak- the highest peak in Utah @ 13,500 ft.
New life adventures- that's my carrot!
Have a great start to the week :-)
