I don’t know what the hell I’ve caught, but I feel beyond crappy and I’m verging on completely shitty. Excuse the bad language, but if you felt as bad as I do right now, you’d understand. Here’s the worst part… I don’t feel 100% sick and apparently most of the symptoms just kind of hide [...]

Ok, so no matter how you shake it down, this is already one of the most interesting election years in a long, long time. Then along comes McCain’s announcement Friday and it suddenly gets even more interesting. So I’m awake in the middle of the night, feeling crappy sick, and I decided I might as [...]
Just tired now

I went to the gathering this afternoon. It’s really hard for me to be in public when I feel grief. I don’t like funerals. I believe in the memories of a person, not the emptiness that comes afterwards… but today I felt like I wanted to be with the community who cared so much about [...]
the end of the day

I need to do some reading for my program. I could actually make a long list of things I need to do. The truth is that I’m completely worn down. The crappy thing is that I need to shake myself up, regroup, and start doing the important things that will make a difference for my [...]
a goodbye

I’m trying to find the words to express this and bear with me, because I am struggling. A professor from my undergraduate degree died last night in a horrible fire here in Boise. I loved her class. I deeply admired her and my memories of her are wonderful. I’ve been traveling back and forth between [...]
First day!

We’re sitting here, waiting to go over to the school. I don’t think Bren got to bed early enough, thanks to my flight schedule. I have to change that or it’s going to turn into a problem.
So much to do and my head is reeling with it. Things keep flying into my conscious thought… book [...]
I’m home!

A quick note before bed. I’m home, with my boys, from my first weekend of grad school. The challenge now is to fill in all the blanks and become extremely knowledgeable in the areas we’ve been introduced to … and work on the group project, all before we have our second meeting in September. Crazy, [...]
Fewer minutes in each day

Sorry, I’ve got insomnia and it’s 1:30 in the morning on Thursday, so I thought I’d take a quick moment to update.
Work was freaking me out, mostly because a critical part of the information I needed was missing. It appears that may or may not be given to me in the format I really need, [...]
Catching up

Boy. Where to begin?
Orientation was great last weekend and I learned a big lesson… I need sleep. Wait! I already knew that! But, holy crap, did I learn it again this weekend. My fellow cohortians (as we apparently are dubbing each other and I like it) are a fascinating and diverse group. I’ve met folks [...]
End of the first day…

I’m exhausted. But it’s the perfect fit for me. I did the right thing. It requires all of my strengths and few of my weaknesses.
Even more, it’s a fresh start for me. That’s something that I seriously needed.
Then… tonight, Todd and I went to a dinner at my former dean’s home, with my old department. [...]
