I'm off to Wisconsin again in the morning and I should be gone for another 2 weeks. I'm staying with a different relative this time so I'll have internet and I'll show my face about daily just not as long as my usual.
Went to visit my dying Aunt (the big C word) who got admitted on the way up. She's my great aunt but my fam is really young so I'm 33 and I've had all my greats in my life all along. People suck and are NOT understanding that we're a close fam. I'm…
I don't get to read for pleasure much anymore what with grad school and the mountain of studies and articles and textbooks I have to read but when I do I go for the hidden gems. I just finished rereading (for about …

Reached Research and Program Evaluation in my program (the course that's supposed to be -the hardest- of the entire program) and I got my second application grade back...12/12 with this:
I have returned from the middle of the Iowa corn patch with peace of mind and clarity. We sent my cousin off in the way he would have wanted and I got to spend time with my family from all over the US that I haven't spoken to much less gotten to hug…
I finished up the quarter today and got my final papers in and then I got called in the middle of the night. I'll be gone this week to go to Iowa for my cousins funeral. He was killed in a motorcycle accident this morning. I haven't forgotten about …

Same for me. Spanish wasn't even required unless you were in the honors program. We had a teacher who had a degree in German and minored in Literature or some such. They wouldn't let her teach German and stuck her with Literatur…
After a few IRL months of saying I wanted to have another Festival it's almost here! I'm pretty proud of myself this round. I have a lot of surprises and things that will set this apart from any Festival of Light we've done before and I hope everyon…
