quarterly report

so i can't believe how long it has been since i posted on this thing. i knew it had been a while, but noting that the baby who was born on the day of my last post is now finishing his phd is humbling. i suck at this. i say this everytime, but i really do. thanks to anyone who still checks this occasionally, hi. i was inspired to write again by professor passion's newfound passion for blog updates. his have cheered me immensely and i thought i should join that hot party.

i have had a lot going on since my last post. i know everyone does, but this was an especially chaotic summer. i won't bore my three readers with all the fine details. but as i have nothing nice to write about just now, i will present my summer in a paragraph.

basically: finished classes and sacrified a freakin yard full of goats in thanks that the year was over. spent a week in nyc for a summer class, looked at art for ALL of it, got all comfy with that fairly intimidating city, caught up a bit with a friend from olden days, got insanely sick from that dirty city. after that, i was able to spend the WHOLE summer with my boyfriend, prof. passion aka young buck invincible aka commander cool, which was the celebrated highlight of the summer. we traveled over all of creation. all of it! via car, train, airplane, and moving van. i am not even counting all of the hovercrafting and competitive hot air ballooning we did (those are lies.) we visited every member of his immediate family in all their various cities, almost every member of mine, packed up and moved several houses, went whalewatching and raquetballing and farmer's marketing and zoo walking and drunk getting and baseball gaming and kayaking and berry picking and family quality timing, watched movies and played video games for the first time in a year or so, walked up a pretty exciting waterfall and more frequently around a slightly less exciting pond, sat by the world's loveliest koi pond with the world's foremost expert on catfishology, c-dogg, caught up with my best girl and her best husband and their best new baby (while accidently wearing a completely matching outfit as the baby, might i add), received our friend dr. top secret in lush new mysterious accommodations up north, as well as a set of parents. am i forgetting any shout-outs? it was hard to be on the road all the time, i like to be able to just sit and gaze at commander cool for uninterrupted days. it was hard for other reasons too, but i was happy to see everyone and thanks for being such friends.

i am back at school now, and i must admit i find it horribly depressing. i have some hopes that this will be a good last year and that things will be okay. i just want to get through it. i am ready to get on with my life and this just isn't the place to do it. so, i will try to post again soon when i am a bit cheerier of outlook. i will try my best to post. i hope my failures as a blogger are endearing and not endlessly appalling. i know it's pretty annoying, but just think of them as quarterly reports and they won't seem so infrequent. peace out.
