Insert Witty Title Here

Lots of good news lately. Now that I'm all done with mid-terms, I have time to post about them!

Live maple or die!
Rose and I drove up to New Hampshire for a weekend getaway at our favorite (only one we've been to) Bed and Breakfast, the Rosewood Country Inn. In addition to a cute room with a cozy fireplace, we enjoyed two awesome 3-course breakfasts, explored New London, and got a tour of a sugar shack, where we got to see maple sap boiled down to maple syrup and taste some right out of the boiler.

My Home! Where I sleep, where I come to play with my toys.
As she mentioned in her post, 99catsaway and I decided to shack up, and we found an apartment! It's in Somerville, just outside of Ball Square, and also within walking distance of Davis and Porter. It's also just BLOCKS away from the Somerville Community Path. We're looking forward to some awesome biking! We're excited about the new place, and look forward to having people over sometime after we move in on June 1st. (also... davis_square community, here we come!)

Doing alright, getting good grades.
I got my graded mid-term back in my Cell Bio class. The instructor warned us ahead of time that it would be a very tough exam, so we shouldn't be worried if we don't do all that well points-wise. The average (out of 100 points) was 62.7, so that's what a B will be. I did a little bit worse than average, but less than one standard deviation away from it, so I should still be within the general neighborhood of a B. I also have done pretty well on my problem sets, and think I did ok on the paper I turned in yesterday. Same for the paper I turned in tonight for my Animal Cognition class.

Pomp and Something-or-other
In a related note, I'm on track to graduate (finally) in June.
