I am home again and feeling refreshed. My trip was too short but responsibilities called me home, there was nothing I could do about that. I tried to make the most of my time there. I biked the entire island on Tuesday. I saw much more than I would have had I been driving the island. It was only a 15 mile bike trip around the whole island. I soaked up some sun, read a lot of fiction, ate good food, received fabulous Jai hugs (that cannot be duplicated or surpassed by anyone), I pretty much just relaxed. It felt so good to have no worries for a few days. Now, I am in the lab for the my first day as a graduate student. And I can say that I am a graduate student now because my grades for the spring semester were posted online yesterday and I passed everything. I was so thankful that I passed that I am not really too upset that my GPA sucked as badly as it did. I should really go see what the boys are doing and what I can help with....
