I went and got graduated yesterday! After getting my official document (“your degree will be mailed to you”), I did some posing with Stella in front of Manning.
I also posed with my great advisors.
Later that night we ended up a party that involved a dead pig, a shotski, and ladies with big belt buckles.
E & I have been busy with the end of the semester. She’s making students sweat and I am doing some sweating. Right now I have one 4-6 page paper to go and E has one exam to give.
Last weekend we spent an unusual amount of time in Durham. We really procrastinated on buying tickets [...]
Some interesting caterpillars have made their home in our garden. Do you know what they are?
E and I have had a somewhat lazy day with a trip to the farmer’s market & WSM and then back home for some school work. I briefly freaked out because I realized I didn’t get a form into [...]
I am trying to be good and read my readings before tomorrow night…but I forgot how dense academic writing can be. I need some strategies to get through, understand, and react to this writing. Any suggestions? I think I may move my study place from WSM to the library for starters. [...]

Surprisingly, everything I need is within a relatively small area– food (including local Middle Eastern [...]

Human Information Interactions The behavioral and cognitive activities of those who interact with information, with emphasis [...]
I just got my first bill for grad school yesterday. Instead of grad school, I could buy FIVE iPhones (the more expensive 8gb variety) for what I am paying for 15 weeks of schooling (or 10 for a year, 20 for two years). I am actually getting a bargain deal on school but [...]
We are back home and back to a normal routine more or less. The ALA conference was fun and overwhelming. Luckily, I had a native guide (thanks Stef!) and I wasn’t expecting too much. I enjoyed the massive exhibit hall (although I never managed to walk all of the aisles). I [...]
