Whew! So it finally rained here this weekend - for the first time since I've been here. We got back from the beach, got inside, and BOOM. Downpour.
Our timing was impeccable. But it's still ridiculously hot. All the time. 90s today. And almost every day. But I guess it's hot in Syracuse, as well. Maybe just a weird summer, to go along with the weird winter.
It's wonderful being in an apartment without air conditioning. My apartment looks like this:
Anyways, apparently Holland is known for tulips, windmills, and anchors. Or at least Hope College has lots of anchors. And the colors of Hope are blue and orange! Just like SU :).
Research is great! The program we wrote actually worked for some graphs *insert happy dance* and everything is going smoothly. Erica and I have to present on Thursday (as do all the other groups), and it is not worrisome at all, because we have lots we can talk about. And Lights Out is fun! :)
Oh, and here are some pictures of the dunes that I promised!! Mark, one of the other research students, kindly illustrates how very large the dunes are as he runs down this (relatively small) dune:
Michigan is beautiful and I love it. We go the beach - and to the Bowl Dune - a lot.
The Dunes are beyond gorgeous. It's like being in the middle of the desert, but there is green all around. If you want to see more pictures of Michigan and the Dunes, there are a lot on Facebook!

| This is the kitchen... |
 |
| And this is the living room... |
 |
| And the dining room table... |

| And my room! |

| Look at the tiny little people!! The Bowl Dune is huge. |
 |
| And Lake Michigan... |
 |
| We took the high road and hiked along the edge of the Bowl Dune. Look at how small the others look, who are hiking up the middle of the dune! |
 |
| We came all the way from the lake to here :) |
