The normal, yet satisfying, life in South Dakota.

Since it has been such a long time since we last posted, I just wanted to write a quick update for anyone who still checks back. Life in South Dakota provides stories every week, but not like Europe did! Here's what has happened since last summer...



In the Fall, Heather and I were busy finishing up our undergraduate degrees. I was taking 12 credits and an independent study video project (which pushed my official graduation back to May 2008). Heather had 12 credits and her thesis. Her Honor's Thesis was a study of the communication between doctors and international students during medical visits. She worked very hard on this, doing a lot of research, interviews, data analysis, and writing. It ended up being more than seventy pages long! All said, we finished our Bachelor's degrees in December. Heather graduated with honors and all sorts of subtitles!



The next month after graduation was crazy! Heather began her career as the Manager of the East Asian Institute in the Business School at USD. I decided to pursue a Master's in Computer Science, so I spent the next couple of weeks studying for the GRE, getting letters of recommendation, and doing whatever else was needed to get back into school.



My brother was married at the beginning of January, and I was his best man. So we went to Indianapolis for Jeremy and Jess's wedding for four days. It was a great time we got to spend with family from all over the country.



At this point, Heather has been working for EAI full-time since December, and is considering a few possibilities for continuing her education once she is officially a South Dakota resident. I am expecting to graduate with my Masters in May 2010.



My exciting new vehicle purchase is Doc Hudson, my motorcycle. I got this 1979 Honda CX500 Custom when Heather was spending the week of Spring Break in the NorthEast with EAI. Since I got it I've been fixing it up so that I can drive it whenever the weather is nice.

Well, that's a summary of what has happened in our lives since we've been back. We are happy and look forward to this summer's fun. Thank you for reading!
