Wow. It’s been almost 2 months since my last post.

I wish I could tell you that I’m part of a religion that doesn’t allow blogging in January (or the end of December/beginning of February), but, sadly, I do not.

I also wish I could tell you that I have a super great excuse that will defend my blog neglect, but, again, I do not.

What I can tell you is that, as it always does, my life got in the way of my blog.  I’ve been beyond swamped with work–finishing my dissertation coupled with a heavy semester and normal day-to-day life activities is about to do me in. Lucky for you (maybe?), rapidly approaching  deadlines mean ample opportunities for procrastination, so I’ll be back.

Right now I have 9 senior theses that are calling my name, and I can’t justify writing a “real” post while I still have those hanging over my head.  I do have many stories to tell from the last two months (and pictures to go along with them!), and I’ll work on getting them up this week.

Thanks again to those of you who still check my blog; in all honesty, even I haven’t signed onto my blog in over a month, so signing on tonight to discover that there’s still a handful of you who are still checking each day made my night.

I’ll be back before the end of the week…

Until then, enjoy your week!
