1st:
Ok, come clean. Who is reading this that shouldn't be? I see the former university address hanging out in my site meter, and I know it can't be the one person who knows...e-mail me, and reveal yourself.

If your name starts with J or D, you are sneaky detectives.

2nd:
I found a graduate program that I want to apply to, although god knows why I would want to put myself through that after reading the chronicle (and some blog posts on other people's blogs about their experiences) .


3rd:
I found a volunteer opportunity, which is a good thing because staring at the walls is not conducive to strong mental health.


4th:
Thanks to all the people who sent e-mails. You are invited to a home-cooked meal whenever you are in the area...
