I met with my adviser of Friday to talk about my plan on study for this fall. She gave me a tentative list of courses for my program but I know I'm going to have to make a small change since two of my classes conflict. She seems really nice and is very willing to help me make the best of my next two years at Mizzou.
After meeting with my adviser I went and got my student ID and then Ben and I wandered around campus for a bit. I met some people in the Biological Sciences department so maybe getting my foot in the door and actually meeting them will help in me getting a job there. Speaking of a job...I still don't have one. I finally applied for a job at the hospital. It's not the one I want mainly because it's only 16 hours a week and in a lab (which would get boring) but right now it'd be better than what I have. I also applied at a bunch of retail stores around the city. If I get a job there I'll just keep it until something better opens up at the hospital.
We decided to take Portia to a different dog park on Friday. We took her off the leash right away and she actually seemed to warm up to some of the dogs. She was still very protective of us but only got in one barking match. Many of the people there said that if we keep taking her to the dog park she'll eventually be fine. That was very encouraging because it's kind of embarrassing when your dog is the only one freaking out. Hopefully that is the case because she loves being outside and I don't want to have to keep her on a lease all the time. She loves to just run around.
Here's a few pictures of Portia just chilling around the house. She's finally starting to play with the toys we bought her which is refreshing. Didn't want to have wasted that money!
