I'm back.

I'm back mainly because I'm at work again and I don't know what to do with all my "spare" time right now. It's like I feel as if I need to be in the library or something. School is starting again in a few weeks, so that'll keep me busy, eventually. And things should pick up some at work.

Speaking of work... I started back at TBE on Thursday, about 14 hours after my last final finished. I've worked two days already and am getting back into the swing of things. There are a *lot* of changes that have happened and are happening so it's taking a little getting used to. But I've jumped back into some of the Manufacturing stuff I used to do (even though Kimberly isn't there for awhile) and helped out where I can. I went over today and set up my office to be more "Megan". I think I'm liking it over there more than the last semester by this time. I just need to bring over books and stuff to keep me busy for when I'm bored.

School ended well. Grades aren't out, yet, but I'm pretty sure I did okay in the class I don't know the grade for, yet. I will be taking Calculus B again this summer (mainly because my professor this semester was a dick) and should get a really good grade as well as taking Engineering Economy (which makes me excited because it's a 300-level course as well as finally in Tech Hall (and we know I don't mind being over there. :-) ) I'm on my way to becoming an engineer!).

I'm going to start playing hockey hopefully pretty soon. I got my skates and my stick and random gear the other day and headed out to the rink with Virginia this afternoon to try out the new skates. I didn't fall at all (and it was my first time on hockey skates!) and was able to do some of the same things from figure skating with the hockey skates. I was excited!

Pete is doing well. He's asleep on my bed right now. :-) He's been loving the fact that someone is almost always home now. It means more playtime, more time outside and more time to nap on our beds. He's a pretty happy puppy (that is tapeworm free! :-D).

I'm pretty homesick right now. I think it just dawned on me that I'm not coming home this summer. I knew I wasn't but I don't think I realised I wasn't. Every time I see something on Facebook or something about Twins' games or Grand Ol' Day or the U my stomach does a little flip flop thing. I'm going to try to come home sometime before Thanksgiving; I just don't know when I will be able to. Until then, though, all my Minnesota friends know that I miss you tons and can't wait to spend time with you as soon as I can make it up there!

Peace, Love, and Sunsets,
