Summer Internships

So I know it's been forever. Pieter and I were back home doing internships(which went swimmingly) and, well after spending 8 hours a day on the computer, blogging just didn't happen when I got home...poor neglected blog. Anyway, the internships went really well and barring funding cuts we've been invited back next year(YAY!)

Internships also meant living with my parents and partaking of wonderful homecooked meals, free laundry, and lots of people- it just gets quiet sometimes when it's just the two of you. Anyway, so a HUGE shout out to my mom and dad for making our yearly trek back to California possible.

Cute story from work: Pieter and I worked on the same floor, and to preface this, most of the people who work there are in their 40s/50's. So one day one of the ladies comes to my office and says, "I told someone that I just think it is SO CUTE that our two summer interns are dating!" Someone then explained to her that we were married. Good to know that were still romantic enough to be considered dating.

Another thing from the summer internship, apparently my age is an enigma. Keep in mind this is the same day, same clothes/hair, etc. At work, I got asked if I was almost done with my PhD and then at the Farmer's Market got asked if I wanted to join Viking Youth Cheerleading (which only goes up to 14 years old!) I mean it's not like I wear pigtails with sparkle eyeshadow or a severe bun with a business suit(I actually feel like a case worker when I wear my suit). Anyway, if we could average the two and keep my real age, I'd be fine with that.
