where were we??

The long and tedious drive from the house in Wausau to the cabin somewhere else took about three hours. You know that feeling when you are tired, but can't for some reason sleep. Whether it be family or work, you just shouldn't sleep......

As soon as we pulled up to the also obscurely located cabin, as their house took 20+ turns to get to, we saw what I knew was their puppy but looked like a baby horse running toward us. I had always called their dog Roque (rock) a puppy because he is only about 7 mo. old, but to negate the fact that he is a puppy he is also a grate dane!! Therefore, he doesn't realize how big he acutally is; with his huge paws flopping in and out while he is running toward us, and of course trying to jump on us. The jumping I didn't mind as much as the very sharp claws in the eyes.

As we start to settle in and take our showers, my brother and I think we have some peace to ourselves and time to finally relax. Naturally, fate thinks otherwise, the door opens and in come our grandparents. To give you an idea behind our reaction, we love our grandparents. They would do anything and everything we would ask them to if we needed help. However, the past dictates they have tried to behave more as our parents then our grandparents. Which, of course my brother and I have not taken to.

To lay down a little foundation, my grandfater went to Purdue and is very proud of that fact. They are unhappy and confused at the reality of my brother who doesn't want to be forced into school. They also don't understand that I don't want to get a Ph.D., I would rather go to Genetic Counseling. So.....with this in mind we go back to the original story.

It probably took about the maxium time of 5 min. for grandma to ask me "so.....are you taking any classes to get ready for grad school yet?" switching between looking at me and looking at the counter in fromt of her. Giving her my answer of no basically she turns her questioning to my brother...........
