Starting of a New Adventure

OK so life has finally settled down somewhat and I am now back in a routine: granted that routine means that M-F I am on campus fro 730a to 930p but hey at least I have the weekends now to sit down and update my blog!
DJ and I moved down to Eugene in September, I started graduate school at the Warsaw Center for Sport Marketing and he is finishing up his Finance degree at Western Oregon University. He commutes over an hour each way twice a week! Such a commitment! He is also able to use the new rec center there to get workouts in AND he has a part time job here in Eugene working at Grand Slam USA = free time in the batting cages. I was lucky enough to get a GTF position (free tuition, monthly stipend, and health insurance!) as a Math and Business Tutor for Services for Student Athletes. I work at the Jaqua Center on campus which is AMAZING. Ridiculously over the top but since I work there, I'm ok with that :)
Let's Go Ducks!!

2 Weeks down in the term and I am already starting to get the feeling like thing aren't going to be slowing down anytime soon. I want to make the most of my 2 years in this program and take advantage of every opportunity, and there are a lot! I am really focused and even though it is hard work I am happy to put in the long hours and give it 150% because I know it will pay off.
First day of grad school!
We had a class field trip to the Ninkasi brewery today, we are going to be doing a project and presentation in our Marketing and Management class on them so it was completely research related... of course tasting is part of research ;) Most of their beers aren't really my style, but I must say that I drank a Bud Light with dinner when I got home tonight and it just tasted so inferior. I think I am going to go to the store and get something tastier for me and DJ to enjoy while we watch a Netflix movie. Now if only I can get DJ to sign off of Call of Duty and pick a movie...
