Hey guys. I just made plans to visit my parents from August 30 to September 7. I'm thinking I'd like to take 2 or 3 days and do some extra visiting, probably in Galesburg but maybe in the Chicago area. Or people could come to me in IC. So will anyone be in the midwest around then and interested in having a visitor/visiting me?

And how is the summer going for everyone? I'm having a blast. Working for my advisor is easy-cheesy, and she's super nice. And neither she nor my advisor-to-be are interested in giving me deadlines for my work this summer, so my thesis work is pretty laid back at the moment. That means lots of time to goof off, dance, go hiking. Just a month and a half until the dance festival, and if I get it done I'll be performing my own solo in the festival along with the other work I'm doing with my company. How cool is that?
