As soon as I'm done, I can leave for Nashville to apartment and job hunt (with a slight detour to Chattanooga). I tentatively have a roommate. I have friends. I have others who will be writing their thesis and studying for the GRE while I'm doing the same.

1) Handy week! Handy week was last week. Oh so much fun! I went to more bands this year than I ever have before. Mmm. There's just something about good music that touches deep down in the soul. On Wednesday, Mama, Daddy, Austin, and I went to see Gabe Rikard, an old family friend who plays acoustic guitar (His band has an interesting rock sound and ( Read more... )
