Hi everyone
Hey guys. I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. A few updates:
I break away from every situation like this one most times, baby
But since you been 'round here, I've given in, my dear,
To your captivation daily
Well I'm not the type
Who gets voted most likely to be victimized
By those old butterflies
But you're the exception,
Your love is infectious,
The fever is climbing high
I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now, turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older,
Cause I won't spend another day wondering what might have been
No, no, no
I was so cynical,
Just inconvincible,
Nobody seemed worth trusting
But sure enough, just when
I'd near given up,
You appeared there among the destruction yeah,
Well now its official,
I've lost my initial suspicions
And skepticism yeah,
You got me caving in,
Feeling the craving,
I see now what I'd been missing, yeah
It's kind of sappy, I know, but I really get what she's saying.
- I got through this semester's classes with mind and GPA intact :)
- I should have completed copies of my thesis in my committee members' mailboxes by Thursday, and I defend the following Thursday. I will then, for all intents and purposes, HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE.
- I have one job lined up for Fall, and prospects on a second one look good, so I will not be starving to death. This is exciting news.
- M and I have begun the Summer of Hamlet. We're in the middle of Act III right now, and it's lots of fun so far. I'm going to start blogging about it as a guest on M's blog as soon as I can think about something other than being eaten by my thesis. You can find his blog at. In the same vein, we're going to see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at the Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern with my dear friend Beth (Hi, Beth!) next week. That should be fun.
- Everyone should check out Kate Voegele's album, Don't Look Away. I'm super into it right now. So far, I really love "Might Have Been." Some of the lyrics are as follows:

- Last thing, and this one's for
_missmargaret_: M has gotten me hooked on The Office, so that's another bandwagon I've jumped on. I am now convinced that John Krasinski's silly hair holds the secrets of the universe. Also, Jim and Pam are about 856 different kinds of cute. I haven't watched that many episodes yet, though, so don't post spoilery comments please.
