M, L and J

The girls are all very busy this summer and that's a good thing.

Leah and Jenn moved out of their dorm room at the beginning of May.  Yes, they lived together 2nd semester and it was a huge success.  Their room was tiny but they made it look great!

Move in day back in August was rainy and cold so it was fitting that move out day was the same.  Once they were home it was time to clean out Freshman year junk and repack for summer.  Leah is now back at Purdue.  She is doing 2 research projects.  Her morning consists of researching viruses and her afternoon is neurological research.  She has explained her exact duties but they are quite technical.  She is working with 2 different professors and as an incoming Freshman on a research team, she is doning most of the grunt work.  She doesn't mind at all!  Leah has discovered that a college campus is quiet in the summer.  She took her Bass to up to Purdue to practice.  She plans to try out for the orchestra next year.

Jenn is doing an engineering internship in Kentucky.  She is very lucky to be getting this experience as a Freshman.  She has her own apartment and has discovered that cooking for yourself is hard.  The grocery shopping isn't so easy either!  Bob is truly enjoying the discussions they get to have about manufacturing and the engineering field.  She is hoping this internship will lead to more and more opportunities in the chemical engineering field.

This summer is a lesson for both the girls in being apart.


Maria is at home but we rarely see her!!  She is at IUPUI studying nursing.  Believe me, all she does is study, study, study.  She loves it.  Her degree will be from IU which is a hard pill to swallow for her since her first degree was from rival Purdue.  Another reason we rarely see her is because she spends most of her free time with the sweet guy in the picture below.  He is a keeper.
