In the early afternoon tomorrow I'm heading back to Springfield.  I don't think I've ever said this before, but after 10 days at home, I do NOT want to go back.  Things are going so well here and I think I'm finally mature enough to realize how great my family is.

My Christmas was awesome.  After the past couple of Christmases, this one was much ( Read more... )

I got this email from my professor tonight.  This is why I'm glad I stuck with the CAP program.

I have a request- one which you are certainly free to decline. Your midterm answers were exceptionally well written, and it would be helpful for me to have examples of excellent answers to share with students who are asking for guidance in learning how to ( Read more... )

Seriously, that's ( Read more... )

Camp Care-a-Lot.  It was three weeks ago.  It feels like I just got back.  Summer.  It's almost over.  It feels like it just started.

Camp was an amazing experience.  It was an exhausting experience.  Cleaning vomit off the floor at 3 a.m. wasn't very fun, and having a revolving bucket wasn't very fun, but the good moments outweighed the bad.  It ( Read more... )

The dean took Angie, my mom, and I to the Cardinals game last night.  Now, with the dean I was expecting good tickets, but I wasn't expecting third row right next to the visiting dugout.  But, that's what I got ( Read more... )

I think it's beginning to feel like summer.  I now live upstairs, in the room formerly heralded by KK.  Speaking of KK...  She's in town!  And so is Molly!  I am so pumped to see Molly.  It feels like it's been forever since she left.  I'm so excited she and Roger are going to be in Springfield this summer.

In other wonderful news... I have another ( Read more... )

Walking home from work for lunch, I walked in front of LRH as I usually do.  Cars were lined down the street, stuffed to the brim with those rubbermaid three-drawer things, mini-fridges, and your usual dormroom odds and ends.  Yep, it's move out time once again.

While I won't be partaking in the move out experience this year, chills still ran down ( Read more... )
