The first is that my IRB proposal went through from University of Memphis and now I just need to wait and see if the one for Methodist went through. This IRB (Institutional Review Board) proposal confirms that it is okay to begin my research at the hospital for my graduate thesis. I have a meeting soon with my advisor, because there is a possibility of receiving an NIH (National Institute of Health) grant for this project. We'll keep our fingers crossed! (This isn't really one of the fun things I mentioned above, just progress on getting closer to being done with grad school)
Also, the Memphis Tigers squeaked the first game out in the tournament. We're season ticket holders and huge fans. Go Tigers Go! So far my bracket is holding up okay, and Brian is beating me. :) He actually picked the Western KY upset - I'm impressed!
Third, we got great tickets to see Coldplay in Nashville in June. The concert is a couple days before we leave for Europe. I cannot wait. This has been the one band I have always wanted to see. We paid a pretty penny, but I am so thankful we are getting the chance to go. Plus, school will be out and I'll have some free time!
That's about it! Have a wonderful weekend!

I hope your IRB goes through Methodist. I will keep my fingers crossed that you will get the NIH grant for your project.
I'm glad you are finally getting to see Coldplay. I also envy you getting to go to Europe again.
