Ever since I returned from APHA, I am more behind than I was before. For those of you who think grad school is not as hard as undergrad – you are so wrong. I have never been so busy with everything and as the same time behind at almost everything as I am right now. But, do not think that I am lacking off. In fact I work so hard, but things seem to pile up everything single day. Luckily I have only one final in my Ecology of Infectious Disease class, 4-5 major papers and two group projects. I cannot wait until graduation – I will be a free bird for awhile.

Last Thursday I went to the Mentor program; I enjoyed it very much. My mentor is so knowledgeable and friendly. He is an inspector for the environmental division at the city of St. Louis Park. I enjoyed talking to him about his daily job, in fact, I am going to go on sites with him next month.

I am looking forward to the Thanksgiving break; that means more time to sleep and eating out with friends, spending time with family, and not catching up with behind works. My family only has four people; my father is a vegetarian, so Thanksgiving for us is still vegetarian dishes and maybe a duck. I am thinking about making spring roll and perhaps have some friends over on the weekend for a pot luck.

I almost forgot about inform you our next coming events. Please come to the two events listed below. Come to meet other people and learn something new. See you all there.
