Life continues for us. We started a project working on the back room, putting in stairs in there, and setting it up to be my office/guest space.It's times like this that I really wish the downstairs roommate's iguana, Herb, would go away so we can have his room back, but that won't happen for a good long while. Either way, we had to temporarily call a halt to the back room project, because funds are tight, what with us going to Italy!!!
That's right, off to Italy to see Randy's parents. I knew I would go back again someday, this time spending more time in Northern Italy, up around the Veneto. We'll possibly be going to Germany as well, by way of Switzerland, to see more family. I'll be sure to report more, as it comes about.
While we're not working on the back room, we've been working on fixing up the rest of the house. We got rid of an old couch in the bedroom, so we've got a lot more room now, and Randy cleaned out a lot of the closet in there. I've started moving the kitchen around. You wouldn't believe how much more comfortable I am now - he used to keep the silverware in the cupboard. Every time I reached for a fork, I almost cut myself on a steak knife. Not cool. Anyways, there has been much housecleaning happening.
I'm still working on that research paper I'm going to submit to a journal. I spoke to my prof about it, and he suggests I send it to a real, professional journal, as opposed to the student journal I was going to send it to. I've already met with him once, and hope to meet with him again soon. I'm at the point of quibbling over citation style, so I'm just about done.
This weekend I am going to MBLGTACC, the Midwest Bi, Lesbian, Gay, Trans, and Ally College Conference. Next year, we're hosting it, and I hope to lead a workshop, so this will be a good opportunity to observe and network. Wish me luck!
