It's a good thing I like school.

A bit of recent and big news: I will be a doctoral student beginning this fall! I was pleasantly suprised to complete Task 20 (Get into a Ph.D. program). Getting a Ph.D. has been a dream of mine for many years now, so I am incredibly thrilled to begin the long process.
If I complete my doctorate in the amount of time estimated by the program I will be attending, I will have completed over a decade of higher education. I repeat the title of this post: It's a good thing I like school. Actually, I really like school, so that will be helpful.

Study for a test? Who does that?

For Valentine's Day, a very dear (and funny) friend sent me the perfect Valentine's day present.


His name is Mr. Right When You Need Him. He is handsome, charming, cardboard, and stands about three inches tall. Perfect.

Meant to be.

I'm studying for my first test of the semester and came across that quote in the midst of my notes. Classic.

So... Team USA won some major gold medalage yesterday. Shaun White, Lindsay Vonn, Shani Davis, and Apollo Ohno represented and kicked some major rear end. Congratulations to them! Men's figure skating long programs are tonight. My prediction: Evan Lysencheck for the gold, the Russian guy (can't spell his name) for the silver, and the Japenese guy with cool hair for the bronze. However, a certain flamboyant personality by the name of Mr. Johnny Weir might bring his A-game and knock someone off the podium. Who knows?

Still haven't bought a rutabaga yet. That's a goal this weekend. First, I must survive a test. Grad level tests are the equivalent of semester exam in undergrad. I can feel the burnout coming soon.

Welcome, burnout. Glad you're here, but you're late.

Question of the day: What's your favorite WInter Olympic sport?
