Short Mid-Summer Update

It has been really nice not having to worry about classes this summer. I've been able to relax and refresh, spend time with family and friends, and work on getting healthier. I have been working in the lab full time, learning techniques and reading a lot of scientific publications and background information. I'm slowly beginning to formulate ideas for a potential project with my mentor. It is getting pretty exciting to be able to move forward, but I still have a ton of work to do. I traveled up north to see my family recently and to attend my grandfather's memorial service. The service and being able to see everyone was really nice. I have been eating healthier and exercising regularly, and am starting to feel much better. My young women's group has been going really well-it has been great spending time with other ladies of faith and "doing life" together. This may be the shortest post I've ever written. I guess that's what summer is all about.
