Hello, LJ-verse! This is long in coming and will even still be a bit slapdash, for which I apologize, but the life of a grad student is never dull. Long ago in the mists of time (last month, perhaps?) I had said that I would start posting random things I found funny on here, sort of my own version of The Daily What, I guess. So I will, because ( Read more... )

Some of you will have encountered this on Facebook, but I wanted to put this out in the LJ-verse to see what my comrades here have stored in their own treasure boxes of skills.So, although I really should be finishing my projects, I've had this note in mind for a week or so and I've determined that I should write it so I can throw that Post-It note ( Read more... )

I have three applications still to hear from and was considering sending out ( Read more... )

I will not be attending one of the history programs to which I applied; they say no. Just letting the LJ-verse know ( Read more... )

Greetings, faithful three people who still read this when I post once every decade or so ( Read more... )
