Another update in a matter of days?! Amazing. I have a little more consecutive free time to write more and build more on my site.

Saturday was the big Expo 10k here in Knoxville. I guess, I didn’t do too bad although I was hurting at the end of it. I am trying to build a base over the summer and get my running form bad into shape. It is a little disheartening when my race pace is closer to my training pace. I don’t have a set race for June but I might sign up for one as a training run.

My brother Chris is down here visiting with us for part of the weekend. It is always fun for us when he is here.

I am now official with TVA. I completed their orientation this past Wednesday in Chattanooga. I now have my own computer and email and all the fun stuff of a regular employee. Now, I will be splitting my time (50/50) between the Statistical Consulting Center (SCC) and TVA.

We are in the middle of our Lamaze class every Wednesday night. Last class we played the bad student by NOT reading our articles OR bring in the magazine to class. Good thing there was not a test or we would be up a creek.

Tomorrow is the Knoxville Expo 10k/5k. I have signed up for the 10k and will use the next two months to start building a base mileage for a fall marathon. I would also like to get in one triathlon before the baby comes, but that will all be in the timing. If he arrives on his due date, that will be good, but if he is early, then it will be a little trickier.

05/14/03 It has been a while since I have made an update. By the time that I got better, the end of the semester was upon me and then exams. I was inundated with tons of work and studying that I did not have a chance to update this site, at all! I am so glad that this semester is over. It was a very intense and it seemed like it took forever. I ended up getting a B+ (Theory pt2), A (Regression) and a B (Design of Experiments). SO even though I did not get straight As, I am still very pleased about my grades. Again, I still have a higher overall GPA then I did at Longwood or UVa. I have now started one of my two summer internships/jobs. This one is the Statistic Consulting Center which is located on UT and supports all the University Campuses on questions about statistics. Some as basic as loading software, but some more in depth regarding dissertation research.

The other position is with TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) where I will be working in the same workgroup as Jen P. I have to wait until June to start because TVA still has to process my paperwork, you know, know that I am a safe individual. The baby is getting big, I can easily feel him when he is using Jen as a punching bag. I can’t distinguish body parts yet, but I think I will be able to closer to the end of the pregnancy. We got a 3d ultrasound of him almost two weeks ago. The picture is up on the baby’s side, check it out. We start Lamaze tonight. You all that breathing exercises and such. I have seen Bill Cosby Himself many times, maybe I don’t need to actually go! PUSH HIM OUT SHOVE HIM OUT, WAYYYYYY OUT!!!
