Since the lab is still broken/under maintenance from the power outage on the engineering campus that happened last week, my clean-room class was canceled this morning. I love working in the clean room so I was sort of sad. I was happy because I didn't have to get up really early, but I was sad because I do enjoy the work we do in there. Also I always feel very motivated after the lab so I always get a TON of work done if I go over to the library after lab. So instead of getting a ton done today like I usually do on Tuesday's, I slept in and felt lazy.

I had a meeting today for my senior design project. We got quite a bit of things figured out and wrote our proposal for the project that's due this week. It was a good meeting.

I found out that my on-site interview with Stryker is on Friday the 13th from 9:15 AM until 1:45 PM. It's with 6 different managers also. Talk about being nervous. Holy crap. There are 4 women that I am interviewing with, however. Pretty cool.

I got quite a bit of homework done after my meeting. It felt good.

Now I just got home and I have some Chicken Pasta Alfredo cooking. It smells good, and I think it's done.

I had no desire to do anything school related today. I have SO much to get done in these next few weeks. I have about 6 weeks of the semester left and I have a LOT of work. My entire senior design project needs to start and needs to get done in these next 6 weeks. I really hope that our project works and is cool. That would be exciting. I am just praying that we can get it done in ample time and do not have to be scrambling to finish things on December 9th (the night before the Design Expo/Due date of the project). It's going to be quite a bit of work.

Tony had to leave for work this morning. I hate it when he has to leave for the week. It's just sad because I know it's going to be a long week without him. I just don't like not being able to see him and kiss him good night. And plus I worry about him while he's at work. After being shot at last summer, it's hard thinking that he's safe at work. I just try not to dwell on it. Really that would make me crazy. So most of the time I try to think about all the good he's doing and try to block out all the bad that could be happening. It works for the most part. I just can't wait till Saturday morning when he comes back.

I have a lot of motivation to do school work right now. It's weird. Perhaps I will go write part of my lab report that's due soon. Later.

Tony and I decided to come back to Ann Arbor last night after the wedding. We went and watched movies at our friend Lauren's house. It was a fun evening. We didn't go out because we figured everywhere would be packed and didn't feel like trying to beat the crowds and such. It was a very nice night in with friends and movies. :)

Today was very nice and relaxing. We have been engaged for one year today. It's really hard to believe that it's been a year already. Time is flying sooo fast. We pretty much laid around for the better part of the day. We had to go to Borders :). Got some coffee and looked at Magazines. It was fun. Went shopping at Urban. Got a sweet wallet for five dollars.

We had dinner at pizza house. Tony and I got fruity drinks! :) He told me we were lame. But I love our lameness. We didn't get carded. First time for me. I'm 22 years old and I get carded even at rated R movies. So it was crazy that our waiter didn't even thing twice about carding us. haha. I suppose I'm getting old? OH NO!

Tony is now doing laundry. I'm putting away the groceries and getting things ready for the week that starts tomorrow. BLAH!

Good night
