BLTs are Good for the Soul
I have had a pretty crappy day... I won't go into too many details because I don't want to sounds whiny. As it is, I decided my day needed to turn around, and the best way I knew to do this was to make bacon. I told my friend Dave about my crappy day and he was on board for making bacon! He made the bacon and I prepared the rest of it. Fresh hot peppery bacon, crisp clean lettuce and delicious ripe tomato... all on toasted bread... The amazing orchestra of flavor produced in such a simple sandwich is incredible.

Volunteering
For the past two weekends, my friend Shayla and I have been dragging ourselves out of bed Saturday morning and going to the Cache County Humane Society to volunteer!
It is the greatest thing we have ever done! We are currently helping out in the cat room! We move all the cats to carriers, then completely clean their kennels, put in new water and food and make their space look nice. One of my favorite parts is deciding which blanket to put with which cat. It is like being an interior designer! "I wonder what would make this cat the cutest?" I always feel very accomplished after looking back at the kennels, they look wonderful! But... inevitably... just as we put a kitty back in, it either uses the litter box, spills the food or messes up the blankets. :) That's ok though! It is a lot of fun!
We also have a decent amount of time to just hang out with the cats! Today, two were adopted while we were there! It was so neat!
Some of my favorite cats are:
1) Sparkles: She is a Mane Coon, therefore large, but she doesn't shed and she is so playful!
2) Megan: She is in the communal area and will place herself right on your lap if you sit down. She is total cuddle bug!
3) Mississippi: She is small and precious! She is only 6 months or so, but she is so friendly and much more calm than most kitties.
It is a great way to start a Saturday!

My TA Position
This week I got an exciting e-mail with the title "Congratulations" (how could this not be exciting?). Turns out I have been offered a TA position in the Mechanical Engineering department for the next 2 years! This means they will pay tuition, and fees and give me a nice stipend. :) Things are all falling into place to move down the Salt Lake this year.
So the classes I might be a TA for are Fluids or Thermo the first semester, and probably Heat and Mass the second semester. Those were some of my favorite classes the past few years, so I am excited to refresh my memory with the subjects and help other people understand the material!
Life is good!
