Wednesday Night Here Have A Puppy

[july_july_july]

You guys, this grad school shit is time-consuming. I love the subject matter--even the class with the professor who's a TOTAL QUACK. And the econ. Ohhhh the econ. Today, during the class break, I asked my professor a question about the homework. And I discovered that I don't understand econ with the graphs and he can't explain it without them

I, too, love German Shepherds. We always had at least one when I was growing up. Our cats are old and would not adjust well to a puppy, but when our cat population starts to naturally reduce, I'd love to get a German Shepherd.

Glad to hear you're enjoying school and DC.

They just have so much character. And their faces and their eyebrows and even their very special smell. Training them is such a pleasure. They are smart and they WANT to work for that treat.

*dies of puppeh cute!!!*

I actually thought about sending you a text today saying "do you yet live?", but decided to leave you be. Glad things are going well, if busy!

I do yet live! And I love text messages! I'd much rather have a text than be let be.

How are your preparations coming? I am hiding my insane jealousy well, no?

Noted!

Things are going well! I have a plane ticket, eee! I still don't have a solution for the horse but I'm not really freaking out about it anymore. Whatever happens happens. My parents are still being (weirdly) super helpful and supportive and while I appreciate it I kind of feel like if I don't pull this off and run back to Texas after a month I'll feel that much more lame for it. But whatev.

Puppeh! Adorable adorable puppeh!

Yeah, this grad school thing eats your brain and your free time like crazy. Sorry about the crappy econ. I feel your pain (STATS!!!).

I will definitely keep an eye out for the oreo knockoffs. Do they just do regular oreos or also the chocolate covered varieties?

Look! He tries to bite the water! And then he discovers the source!

It's not like econ is that conceptually difficult. I just have trouble translating from English to graphs. I feel that graphs are irrelevant and counterproductive, but I am sure my professor would disagree. Stats...I'm afraid to look at my little degree cheat sheet. I hope I don't need them.

The Late July cookies are a very healthy, vegan sort. I bet they have them at Whole Foods, but the roommate got ours at Wegman's. She is a total foodie and makes weekly trips to her favorite grocery store. It is awesome.

Ooh, I love Late July. Dark chocolate. Yum.

I hear you on the grad school. All reading, all the time.

So yummy! And no HFCS!

They go very well with reading, even appalling econ reading.

They are so cute. And so soft! It is unbelievable how soft the puppy fur is. That was always the hardest for me, when their adult coats came in. They're all-weather dogs, so it's rough and a little oily for waterproofing. But the puppy fur! And I like this video because he's in that stage where the cartilage in his ears isn't quite there yet.

When Zoe came home, I slept with her on the kitchen floor the first night. It's supposed to be a bonding thing, they say? I don't know. But she was all: "Human, you may that side of the table. This is my side." Alpha bitches, man. All over my family.

*smish*

True confession: I comfort myself by remembering that I'm not in a Ph.D program. You are brave, indeed.
