I have this sort of fascination with all things weather. I think in another life I was a meteorologist. So it is no surprise that I visit weather.com at least once a day. When there is a hurricane brewing in the Atlantic the number rises to around 4.
Today I was performing my usual check and [...]

This quarter hasn’t been any different from any other, but I am exhausted and ready to finished like never before. I’m not sure why this is. Perhaps it’s the switch from abstract to practical is the reason or that I expected so much more from this quarter and was sort of let down. All I [...]

And we’re back!
I am not a very good blogger, obviously. My last entry way July 6th and while I think I have some great excuses for not blogging (taking four classes, going on a long vacation, having dear friends move across the country, moving myself to a new apartment), they aren’t really excuses at all. [...]
