Well, I have a new phone.  Adding that to the cable I now have, I'm back in the moern times, or something like that.  Semester is going well so far, but a lot more at the beginning of the semester than I've been used to.  This should work out to my advantage, as I should be able to get most of my work done before Spring Break and all the craziness ( Read more... )

Holy crap!  February is birthday month or something.  I've got 4 people on my friends list with birthdays, plus the kiddo.  Playing Tabula Rasa.  It's fun.  Back in school.  It's fun and stressful.  Kiddo #2 due early March.  Lots of research and driving this semester, two conferences, 3 classes.  Fun times.

Well, I'm obviously not posting very often.  School has been absolutely crazy the last month or so.  I had my thesis proposal rejected after spending 10 weeks of research on it.  It happens, I panicked for a weekend, found a much better topic that has nothing at all to do with my original topic and have been playing catch-up ever since.  So by ( Read more... )

Well, classes officially started today.  I had my first two sections as a TA/GA, which were interesting.  Looking forward to it in a kind of sick way.  I have my first real class tonight, which I am also looking forward to, as it is dealing directly with the area I want to study.  Tomorrow should be an interesting day, as well.  I have an early ( Read more... )

I got called for an interview at ISU today.  For a real job.  I'm a bit unsettled by this.  While I want the money that comes along with it, I don't want to stop going to school and give up on my goal of obtaining my MA and continuing on to my PhD.  While this may seem like I'm going to the extreme, if I work I can't take the assistantship because ( Read more... )

So I'm not updating this very often.  I've fallen victim to MySpace, to a degree, and am using that blog more often.  I could probably figure out a way to post to both, but I'm lazy and tired right now.  Same email for that if you want to find me on it.

Ok, this version of 99 Luftballoons combines the German and English versions and is really screwing with my head.  It made me wait a few seconds before realizing it had switched again and made me confused, trying to figure out what was being said.  Anyway, I've started classes.  Not too bad, lot of reading, not as much weekly writing.  One paper a ( Read more... )

Ok, this is just weird.  My parents went to the family Christmas party and got a book of genealogy from my aunt.  It goes back to about 1400 for some of the more notable members.  One of those is Sir Henry Morgan, the Pirate, on my paternal grandfather's side, ten generations back, from a son.  As in Captain Morgan, at least I want to think that.  ( Read more... )

We are moving on the 15th.  Erin has a job lined up, I'm going to be full time dada and grad student, and I'm excited and nervous about it.  I'll try to write some more tomorrow.
