To The Nutmeg State!

Today has been a pretty incredible day! My BIO lecture was really interesting, probably because I'm a dork who really enjoys plants. It was nice that I actually retained a lot of the information from my previous Botany classes, so a lot of it sounded familiar. We have our next test in that class in less than 2 weeks, but I think that I'm going to start doing some review this weekend once I finish up the reading/notes for the chapters we covered this week. I've also found a study buddy in the class, so hopefully that will also help for the next test.

After class, I came home and took a quick nap (8:30 classes are early... and I stay up late). I got up and headed downtown to take some photos at the Dayton Art Institute for the photography contest I'm planning on entering. Apparently the deadline has been pushed back until next Friday (due to all the rain that we've been having in Dayton), so I think I'm going to hold off on submitting my photos to see if I can find some time to take more photos and have more to choose from. I really liked one of the photos I took today though, so that might be one of the two I'll submit.

Of course I headed to Boston Stoker after that for some much needed tea and study time. The shop was packed today, so I had to listen to my iPod to try and drown out the chatter around me. I was able to get most of the first of two chapters I need to read done, so I'll probably finish that up tonight at home.

Once I got back home, I booked my flight to the Nutmeg State (aka Connecticut)! You may be saying to yourself, why are you excited about going to Connecticut? Well... that's rude of you to think that just because it's Connecticut... there must be nothing to do there. Ok... I honestly don't know anything about the state, but I do know that I'll be meeting up with a bunch of my Bike & Build friends for a big memorial day weekend reunion! I can't wait to see everyone... I haven't seen any B2SB'10 folks since New Years in Chicago I think... and most of the people going I haven't seen since Thanksgiving or even when we got to Santa Barbara. It's going to be great! I'm pretty excited, and I'm glad that I decided to fly instead of take Megabus, though it's more expensive, I won't be spending almost an entire day traveling on buses. Woo hoo!

Well... I better get some reading done. Tomorrow I'm going to volunteer with Dayton Habitat for Humanity in the morning, run down to MUM to drop off some paperwork (I'm officially back in the system), and probably do some studying afterwards. If it's nice outside, I'll have to jump on the bike at some point... it's been too long! Can't wait to start the weekend!
