My student.

Just told me that I need to read his paper more slowly... because that way I would, you know, understand it better.

Are they getting more arrogant, or is it just me?

You know you've lived in Chicago too long....

When you're walking to the Walgreens and a man yells a proposition across the street to you for $95.

I mean, seriously.

Ashes and Ashes and Ashes

I'm starting to spend my evenings in the Regenstein.

I'm far more productive than ever before, but there is the caveat that I am now far far more lonely than ever before.

Yeah.

So I haven't updated in a loooong time

Because my life has been moving reeeeallly fast.

So. here's the rocket-update.

1) The boyfriend became the Fiancee in January
2) The Fiancee left me in the first week of April
3) I am suddenly single again after 8 years.

4) and I'm thinking of moving to Madison
5) and getting a Job in academic administration
6) and getting a pair of cats (Buttons and Snaps)
7) and having romances with new people.
8) While I finish writing my dissertation.
9) and then *possibly* going to medical school
10) although at the moment I still need to finish out the quarter and the 6? 7? jobs I am currently working.

So that's the update, the info, and the scoop - and it is also why I have been dramatically incognito for the past few months.


But.... I think that things are going to be OK.
Really.
