The past week I've been really busy i with my next project for Middler Writing, a mulitgenre research paper. Incorporating the other genres makes it a little more interesting, but at the fast pace of summer classes it's still pretty tough.

Two weeks ago I participated in the last outreach program of the year, with a bunch of high school juniors. They came to campus for a day of activities and demonstrations in various engineering labs throughout the campus. As a student volunteer all I had to do was walk them from session to session, but it still gave me an opportunity to talk with some of them about NU, college, and engineering.

After that I went home for Memorial day weekend, which was nice. I got to see some of my friends from high school Friday and then I joined my family at the lake on Saturday. The weather wasn't great, but Monday I did get out in the kayak for my usual trip up the lake, about 10 miles round trip.

Now I'm going to get back to my research paper. I want to get it done before the weekend so that I can have a break, especially since some of my friends from other schools are back at NU for summer programs, and I only have two more weekends on campus until September. I'm excited about a break from classes for coop, but I'm still a little concerned with moving home since I haven't moved off campus in over two years.
