Well I wonder if anyone still stumbles on this? I will assume yes and if no one does, no harm done. I'm deep into grad school now. I'm really busy with Adult Fitness working in the labs, and especially my thesis research. I have a very simple/boring blog set up for my thesis research, mostly for me to more easily share ideas with my advisors instead of e-mailing everything and waiting for them to reply (one in particular who never responds to e-mails). Feel free to take a look and comment on anything. Right now it is really basic and just some introductory information on what I intend to do. Well this should do for now, I have some downtime in the labs coming up, so I will be able to update more I think, at least more frequently than twice/year.

Grad School, Really?
Just as I thought I was done with school forever, I stumble upon an opportunity to get my masters degree paid for. I will be back here at EIU for another long year starting in the fall, as a graduate assistant in the Kinesiology and Sports Studies department working on a degree in exercise science. Right now I'm more excited than worried, but I have been told that changes as soon as you leave orientation in August. Before I start graduate school however, I will be doing a summer internship at Velocity Sports in Tinley Park. I will be training athletes as well as running camps throughout the summer. There is only one more week of classes as an undergrad, and then I have 2 finals and I will be done. I am suffering from such a severe case of senioritis right now too, so it couldn't come at a better time. I should have more time to post more in the coming weeks, and with all the social things that seem to be filling my calendar there should be plenty to talk about (assuming I remember what happens). I will be kicking it off with Beer-in-Hand Kickball this weekend at Fox Ridge State Park. Should be a good time, and a bunch of really good guys are buying all the beer and filling some inflatable swimming pools with it (its still in the can don't worry). Should be fun, and we finally have some nice weather here, mid 70s, SPRING BREAK WHAT!

Oscars, what was that like?
Well last night I had to miss the Oscars because I had to work on a presentation at the library. Of course the kid I had to work with would not let me do anything. He had to do the powerpoint, which took forever! Seriously, who types out everything word for word on a powerpoint presentation for a 20 slide presentation then prints those off, then goes back and changes everything to what it should be? Put the main points on there, type your own notes afterwards. Oh, and he totally fucked us today, by not knowing how to pronounce words that he should have known for almost a year now. I'm just bitter, because I just wanted to sit down after a long weekend and watch the oscars without a library involved.
