DNA talk

I just got back from the first class in a course I am taking at Trent University. It is called "DNA and Forensic Science: CSI for the Novice". I really enjoyed the firts class! We are even going to get to do DNA profiling on ourselves! Sweet! I get to find out all about my own DNA. I think I am really going to enjoy this course.

I found out today that one of my best friends from my childhood just got engaged. She has been with her boyfriend for almost 5 years now. He is a super nice guy and I am really happy for them. The two of them left over a year ago for an adventure around the world. I guess they go place to place and find jobs and then move to another country when they get bored. They started in Australia, and travelled to New Zealand, Singapore, Itlay, Switzerland, and now they're in Ireland. I have no idea when they're coming back (I don't think they know either). They are thinking June 2007 for the wedding, so even if they stay away on their adventure for another year there will still be plenty of time to plan the wedding. They just travel from place to place, working and having a great time, staying as long as they want in each place...I'm so jealous! Sigh, maybe someday...
