Hi all. Sorry I've been away from eljay so much lately. As most of you know, I've been busy planning my wedding (that's in SIX weeks--eek!) and going through the painful PhD apps process for the second time. I still have four schools I haven't heard from, but I got my first acceptance today, from Florida State. Just wanted to share ( Read more... )

• I got a MacBook, finally!

Gah. I'm seriously feeling like this song right now. Totally on autopilot. Trying to finish a paper that needs to be turned in in 5 hours. Because I'm leaving to go to St. Pete in 6 hours. Have slept 2 hours. Did I mention that graduate school is evil? Because it is. You know what else are evil? Rainstorms. Is raining here now. Needs to get it over ( Read more... )
