Uh, wow.

It's been since January since I've posted anything. I... I have been busy, ok!

To summarize: I've moved to Syracuse, NY for grad school: not an MBA program, like I'd thought, but a MS in Information Management. What that is, to plagiarize prettyarbitrary for the billionth time, is a program that teaches you to manage the people, systems, and technologies that

You're clearly the prettiest, most hilarious and the one most in need of being [CENSORED]!

...but I am tickled pink at the mention anyway. <3

CREEPER. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I love you.

I am glad things are so awesome!

I am glad you are so awesome! ♥

How awesome- I'm thrilled to hear about the exciting classes, and the exciting boyfriend, and general happiness!

As for community in the Syracuse area- I have to push the international folkdance group there- they won't be your age, but they will be super-welcoming and very, very nice. If you're interested in Jewish-style community, I don't know the shuls there well, but I know several folks who vouch highly for a particular conservative one, if that brand speaks to you at all.

Forgetting all my random suggestions (what worked for me for a summer is, of course, utterly unrelated to what might work for you in the longer-term, especially since we haven't seen each other in person in some significant number of years)- I hope you find some groups of people to connect to soon.

First of all, thank you!

You know what? Point me towards that folkdance group. I've always had friends of all ages, it certainly can't help to try. :) People at Syracuse University are super-welcoming, too! I just haven't managed to see them outside of class much. And it's very kind of you to make such an effort to reach out to me even though we *haven't* seen each other in so long!

Unfortunately, a conservative shul probably wouldn't work the best for me, but would you mind giving me the information on which one anyway? You never know when someone else could use information like that.

Thanks again!

It's good to hear from you. We'll have to see about meeting up sometime.

[gelishan]

Thank you. We will! I would love that: do you have any contact info for me other than LJ, which I clearly check shamefully little?

[thegelf]

I don't think I have any contact info for you beyond LJ. My gmail address is lastname.firstname at gmail, parse that if you can, and send me some mail. :)

I'm so glad to hear that you like grad school so far, and that you're in a relationship that's making you deliriously happy. Long-distance sucks, though -- I did that for my first year of grad school, too, and it was tough.

[gelishan]

Thank you, both for the well-wishes and the sympathy! Long-distance really does suck a whole lot, but in this case, I think it's worth it.

PS, I thought I had actually mentioned you recently to Justin, and Google chat tells me I was sort of right:

Justin: Did you even see the railsgirls link I posted? WHO DO YOU THINK WAS THE FIRST FEMINIST I THOUGHT OF TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH!?

me: LINDSEY KUPER
