New home! New Job! New furniture!

That pretty much says it all.....

I started my first day of training at the "UM health facility" today. Which basically means I sat in a chair for 8 hours, had a free lunch, and learned all about how doctors and nurses and other hospital staff should interact with patients.

Except.. I'll be working in a lab... so I won't interact with hardly anyone. Oh well, free lunch box!
My official job title is "research technician associate" which translates to "doesn't get paid much" but it is all sorts of new and fun science, so I am hoping I will learn a ton, and it'll be fun for a long time. I'll be working in the department of internal medicine, specifically rheumatology, and will primarily be studying various aspects of immunology as it relates to arthrhitis and other autoimmune disorders. Don't ask me to elaborate... that is pretty much all I know so far. Immunology is completely new to me, and hopefully I'll like it!

Adrian and I have begun setting up our new digs in Ypsilanti, and it's beginning to feel more home-y. I have found a fantabulous salvation army, and am pretty much buying everything I can there! I'll have to post some pictures once we get hold of a couch.... at the moment our living room is just one big ol' chair and some pillows :)

Oh yeah... and we have a pool! And not like one of those little mattress-sized holes-in-the-ground that some places call a pool, but like... one you can actually swim in! so as soon as it's nice I expect moochers to come hang out and bbq and whatnot!!

So that is about it for now... wedding planning is chugging along (slower than I hoped, but we're doing the best we can). Still unpacking some stuff, and trying to make the place feel homey, and adventuring about a2, etc. If you live near here... I don't have homework any more, so I might actually have some free time!!!
