Just wanted to let you all know that I'm no longer keeping a livejournal or any type of blog. I may periodically check in to read updates, but I'm off to enjoy post-grad school life. Have a great summer!

Between spring break and my exams, the entire month of March just flew. Over break, I drove home to see family, went to Mt. Pleasant for Pi Kaps, and headed to an old high school friend's wedding. It was strange to see people I hadn't seen since graduation six years ago. I was going to do the whole go to the ceremony/spend the required hour at ( Read more... )

I now fully understand the northside Chicago tradition of using lawn or folding chairs to claim a parking spot after a heavy snow. My belief that the industrious members of Streets and Sanitation would take a couple days to plow my street after last week's snow was very, very wrong, and I found my car plowed in with snow up to the windows on the ( Read more... )

- Relaxing in pajamas all day

Yes, I like to cook and I'm trying really hard to break the habit of eating in front of the television or my computer and instead eat at a table, but most of my other kitchens were cramped so the time I spent there was ( Read more... )

I've been extremely blah and out of it for the last few days. In an attempt to change that and focus on something else, here are a few things that made me smile ( Read more... )

This past weekend, I met up with a few friends to see another of our friends who was acting in a recently opened play.

Last night I had a dream that I was being chased around a pool by an evil talking manatee named Hugh who was trying to bite me.

This may be a sign I need to cut back on the time I spend with marine creatures.
