In the end of May I traveled to Vancouver and Vancouver Island to visit with friends and to attend my first professional meeting as a professional (a bit different than attending as a graduate student). It was WONDERFUL to drink milk in the main-land, see some GREAT friends, and learn about anatomy and physiology from wonderful other educators.
The other trip was a combo work-family vacation trip. As a member of the admissions committee I traveled to the main Ross office in New Jersey to meet with the admissions recruiters. After learning more than we thought possible in two days, I met Mike in Chicago for a fun-filled 10 days with family! We spent half of that time in the Madison area seeing friends, attending a Mallards game, and spending quality time in Fort Atkinson. The second half of the trip was spent at my parents cabin in western Wisconsin complete with boating, beer drinking, sunshine, and fireworks.
After these travels I am now happy to be back on the island, having picked the dogs up from 'doggy vacation', I will have to update you soon on what Cocoa did during vacation (I'm pretty sure it involved a lot of laying around with her new buddy Andros!). I always say I'll get better at blogs, but I'll say it again...This is my next new effort, to update my blog more often :).
