still alive and kicking.

Okay, so it's been a while. More than a while. More than a MONTH. However, in the month since I've posted lots of exciting things have happened. I finished my thesis, I signed a contract to teach during the 2008-09 school year at the University of Northern Iowa, and I went home to visit Simi Valley, California. I've also been in extreme financial ruin during this transition between student world and real world, but hey, we're focusing on the non-devastating things.

I have lots of interesting tid-bits to post, including thoughts about airports, roller coasters, and being mean to strangers. I've been haphazardly keeping track of them in a little green book, and will someday spiff them up and stick them here. Maybe I'll start tomorrow when I leave on a jet plane and head back to the Midwest.
