Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The weather shifted from fall to winter abruptly this weekend. I broke out the fuzzy slippers and am wearing my pashmina afghan as shawl looking out on the snowy weather. No surprise to any of us that have lived here for years, as it is Halloween weekend. In Colorado, your winter coat is a part of your costume! What did we do this week? To apply to the co-term program at RPI as a BME major, Amanda had to create a plan and gather documents for approval. She got the go ahead this week and will be officially applying. I hope that she has also gotten to her letters of rec requests out to professors...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Fall is back in the air today after a week of too warm weather. It should not reach 80* in October! I will admit that I am not ready for snow however long sleeves, or a sweater would be a welcome change. What did we do this week? Amanda survived her round of midterms tackling three exams, Neuroscience, Finite Elements, and BME lab. She also used her baking skills to treat a fellow RA for his birthday. This week will be recovery, requesting letters of rec from professors and supervisors, and the start of the design project for BME. I am glad that I understand the science parts of what she wants to do and...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am loving the fall weather. It has finally gotten cold enough at night to close the window, wear slippers and even turn the heat on. I hope it stays this way for a few weeks before bringing the snow. Long sleeves, comfy sweater, snuggly blankets, it just feels good. What were we up too this week? Amanda has been spending her time preparing for three exams coming up. It's always fun when they cluster together. Thankfully her box of cookies, tortillas, and green chile arrived in one piece without anything breaking this time. The last package looked like it was drop kicked from Colorado to New York and she had cookie dust instead of...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Moving a little slow here today after a heavy NyQuil induced sleep. Probably didn't need the help and it's going to take a bit to shake the grogginess. Felt good to sleep through the night and I can breathe this morning which is a good thing. What did we do this week? Amanda had her Circuits exam that she is waiting for results on. Professor said it would only be two questions and ended up being three. Her paperwork for the Co-term application for next year is almost ready and she's been having a good time with friends. I need to get in gear on a package for her as she is missing her green...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The wonderful cool fall weather keeps soaking in at night and we love having the windows open to sleep. Only problem is when the breeze brings in more than anticipated! Thursday night, after hearing some words in my mind, I peacefully fell to sleep. Whatever the breeze brought in decided to freak out the fire alarm at midnight. Talk about an adrenal spike! Of course, nothing was wrong and once I got it to stop talking, we were able to go back to sleep. It sure made for a long and tired Friday. What did we do this week? Amanda aced her neuroscience exam scoring a 100% and has been pounding the circuits study for...
