An update and a little house cleaning.
Hey look at me all alive and shit!
So, I gradiated...got me a BA in Anthropology. One of my professors is currently helping me design a grad school application so I can have a fabulous app and totally get in. Woo.
I went back and read some old entries and I deleted them. I feel like this was the right thing to do because, while the anger I felt at the time was real, I no longer feel it and I'd hate for that to be out there. Anger is poisonous, it's unfortunate.
I'm currently sucking up books now that I don't have academia to read. I'm on the third book of the Golden Compass series (really good.) I recently finished Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman and Stardust and American Gods by Gaiman (if you never read anything but American Gods again, you'll live a good life.) Currently, I'm also reading Stiff By Mary Roach and House of Mourning: A Biocultural History of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I love a good massacre!
Oh, and Tim and I have set a date- October 11, 2009. We always knew October was the month it's both our favorites. The 11 is perfect because we'll be getting married down south and it's just before a Monday holiday and will allow my Northern guests an extra day they won't have to take off. I'm very excited. I also bought a dress...
The pic below is not the exact dress but it's very similar (mine has a sweetheart neckline and some beading on the top) but it's most definitely the color! Ignore the look on my face and the sad state of my hair- I wasn't feeling well.
