Went to an informational session for an entry-level Master’s program yesterday with two girlfriends in the same academic boat as I am.

...of the two-wheeled variety, that is.
Chris bought me this bike for my birthday this past weekend. She's pistachio green, and I call her Peanut (because I like to anthropomorphize my non-human stuff). We got her outfitted with a rear-view mirror, lights, a nifty heavy-duty lock, and a rear rack for my backpack (although I've had to downsize ( Read more... )
