I am officially graduating in May.

So the other week I got some really exciting news that is now official. My sister and her husband are moving to Austin next year!

My sister took a new job with her company that has her working the southwestern region of the US building relationships with area colleges and working with students and study abroad offices to promote her company's study ( Read more... )

I had a dream last night that I was in class, explaining to my communications teacher why I didn't use pictures from the database (like we were supposed to) in my presentation on Agoraphobia. The only pictures from the database that I could find were stock photos of pretty, made up, hair-did white women badly imitating "The Scream" or with make- ( Read more... )
