I've been at IU for 5 weeks and two days!!! WOW! Time goes by quickly! I'm only 5 weeks away from training/going back to East Lansing! Oh how I miss it so! I absolutely love it here in Bloomington! I went to Indianapolis this past weekend and had a blast! I saw Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen in IMAX and it was incredible! Did a lot of shopping and had incredible creole/cajun food at Yats (the original location)!

The weather in Bloomington is quite unusual. Last week, it was very humid and hot. Today, the high is about 75 and tomorrow it will be 72 or so. I am used to the upper 90s and low 100s in Texas. I am definitely enjoying this weather!

My internship is pretty sweet. I'm enjoying my time learning and spending some informal time with the students. I believe I can relate to them, being a first-generation student. They might not know it, but I am hoping to connect with them in the next 5 weeks. They finished their 4th day of classes today and have about 5 more weeks of classes.

The Resident Assistants are incredibly bright and talented. They are putting on phenomenal programs: Guess that RA, Speed Meeting, Club Teter, Sex in a Fishbowl....etc. They plan on doing more this summer: Top Chef, Biggest Loser, Amazing Race, So You Think You Can Dance Crew, etc. I'm very proud of what they have accomplished and am excited for the rest of the summer.

I've lost some weight, not because of what I'm eating, but because of my free membership to their student recreation center! I love putting in an hour of cardio each time I go! Gabe was right! The food is very greasy and it gets really old: chicken, sandwhiches, sbarro, and some Chinese that I have yet to try.

I've tried a lot of great local/townie restaurants and am very impressed. My Thai is not as good as Thai Kitchen. Bloomington Bagel Company (BBC) needs to come to East Lansing. Laughing Planet Cafe - wow! I'm definitely doing a video blog update for the Foods of Bloomington/Indianapolis!

This 4th of July -- I'm going to Chicago!!!! Going to the Taste of Chicago and am super excited! It will be my first time exploring the city. The other times, I've flown in for layovers and spent one night in the O'hare airport! Can't wait to go to the Container Store and Harpo Studios. Thinking of going to a Cubs game!!!!! Brewers are coming into town and the tickets are about $40. Cubs better impress!

Until next time,
