high on life

As the title suggests, I am extremely high on life right now. Things have been going right for me, for once. I received a job offer for the internship in White Bear Lake- and I will be living with Mike over the summer. So not only do I have a well paying job for this summer, I also get to live with a good friend and his family for cheap. I am also giving a poster presentation for my research with Professor Stein in a few weeks, and I already have the poster finished. I planned on emailing a very rough draft of my poster to him this past weekend, but apparently he liked it so much that he changed very little, and even complimented me on my work. I am also going with Matt, my boyfriend, to New Ulm to meet his family and to see the city in which he grew up. Just for kicks. I am really excited about this, albeit a little nervous. I'll start pacing in a week or so...
I love Matt- he's amazing. no questions about it.
It is also spring. finally. officially. It's been "warm" all winter long, but there is very little snow left, if any, and the grass and trees are green. greener than when I came here in September. Its gorgeous outside- people are laying on the lawns doing homework (I will probably join them soon)- and the sun is out. Its warm enough to be comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans, my usual ensemble, which is perfect weather- as far as I'm concerned.
I may see a Twins game on Wednesday, meaning I need to complete my homework for the week by tonight. Fortunately, my homework is mostly completed- especially since this poster is out of the way now.
So as you can see, not a lot is wrong right now- this may change, especially once I start my physics homework, but with the current weather and lack of poster work- I doubt it will get me down for long.
Unfortunately, I have recently realized that I will be unable to see my friends or family much over the summer, and I am not sure I will be able to attend my cousin's wedding in July. I hope that I can- even if I am only able to be there for the weekend. On the upside of things, I don't have to return to the pithole known as Hibbing. I will be visiting home often anyway, I'm sure.
What can I say, God is good to me :)
