Today was the beginning of another work week, and I am working on a new project with the Progressive team!! I am putting my biomedical engineering skills and really digging up research into this project. The best part is is that my input actually adds a lot of value to the team and how we proceed etc etc. I love it!!

On another note today I found out that my physiology grade from Fall 09 got raised a letter grade, bringing my whole GPA up a good bit! Go figure! How lucky am I. Apparently there was a recalculation of grades due to the fact that our professor was 1 hour late for the final exam. I guess that tiny bit extra was enough to push me into the B range. Hoorray!

Tonight I went to the dragon boat practice on the little river in a nearby town called Barry. We are entering the dragon boat race for the Loughborough Womens Aid or something like that (it's a huge fundraiser). Anyway, like I said, I am doing it w/ people from work so it will be fun to get to know them better and become better friends with them. What dragon boat racing is a big viking type boat with 5 paddlers on each side with a person at the stern who beats on a drum signalling the stoke tempo. Quite entertaining must I say! The race is this Saturday. After the practice we grabbed dinner at the boathouse and sat around for a while. Great fun. On the way back we dropped Kirsty off at the car park (her car recently had work done on it) and we were following her out and got stopped at the light. Her car had stalled and wouldnt turn over, so we got out and pushed her car about 3/4 of a mile all the way back to the car park. It was quite funny pushing/ running the car along the main road haha. Hopefully she gets things sorted out!

Anyway, got back to my room slimy and sweaty from the river/ pushing the car...and the water is broken. awesome. good thing they change the sheets on Tuesdays :)
