I don't know how my exams went yet. Probably not as well as they could have, but as long as I stay focused it will be fine. I'm learning a lot quickly.
February my advisor is sending me with her lab technician (who is very nice) to the PA sustainable ag conference! Next weekend I'm going to NYC and in December I'll get to go to Minneapolis for two weeks. And I don't know what I will do for my birthday or Thanksgiving. I will probably have to stay here, to save money.
Roman and I are very uncomfortable here, outside our comfort zone. We never realized how great Minneapolis was, it has a lot of things we appreciated but assumed were elesewhere--no, they're not. Actually, that's not really true. For a long time I thought I would never move out of the area, because I loved it so much. You don't have to leave an area to know this. Maybe I am wary because I know my dad misses home so much (though I think this is also an excuse to be unhappy). But I was getting stagnate and needed to be forced to change, to have everything challenged. And I can never go back exactly, it will never be exactly the same. Still, home is home.
Maybe I will end up somewhere else, you never know. I am very open to it, in fact.

wow! sustainable ag conference! how cool! is it in Philly?
it's good you are in a new place... good to expand the comfort zone. I understand the growing pains, though. and it's not like things ever stay the same anyway. if/when you come back to the Cities, things will still be good.
I wonder where you will end up!
