Annual Perg Lab Apple-picking Party

Each autumn Zac's advisor puts together a lab excursion in New Hampshire. We start by hiking up Mt. Kearsage (what a view) then stop at a family-owned orchard (Gould Hill Orchard) on our way back to his advisor's house. Everyone pitches in to make apple crisp, apple pie, steak, chicken, salads, veggies, etc..., it's a great time to de-stress and enjoy life away from the computers and campus.
We also tried out Tim's rocket. My mom gave it to Tim two years ago. Unfortunately the igniters didn't work after so long. It ended up lighting itself on fire instead. "Burn baby Burn!"-comes to mind. Sorry Mom!

Another Interesting Change

Remember when I said last Sunday was my last week in Primary...not so! Today our ward was split and the person they were going to sustain as the new primary president happens to be in the new ward. I'm sticking around for at least another week. What a shocker! I had already passed over my binder, church keys and probably stress two weeks ago, so when I saw her today after sacrament meeting we laughed REALLY hard. It just seemed so hilarious to me.

Anyway. There are a lot of people moving into the other ward that I am sorely going to miss seeing each Sunday. But we are still friends (of course) so although the change is painful it won't be the end of the world. We won't let it be!

First Midterm

I just finished my first midterm of the semester today. Phew! What a relief--it's over! Now I just have the rest of the semester to finish. Luckily, I'm still enjoying it all.
