If you say go...

If you say go, If you say go

If you say go, we will go
If you say wait, we will wait
If you say step out on the water and they say it can’t be done
We’ll fix our eyes on you and we will come

If you say go, we will go
If you say wait, we will wait
If you say step out on the water and they say it can’t be done
We’ll fix our eyes on you and we will come

Your ways are higher than our ways
And the plans that You have laid are good and true
If You call us to the fire You will not withdraw Your hand
We’ll gaze into the flames and look for You

dear umass,

i hate you and your stupid fees that we grad students cannot afford. this particular grad student especially cannot afford your fees this year because her car is dying and she needs a new one desparately soon. you are slowly killing me financially. so glad i decided to go to grad school.

you suck.

sincerely,
me

and she's moved in!

so, i/we successfully moved. it was a long day that began with some FANTASTIC helpers and ended with a very pooped mass adventurer. we had most everything moved in by 3:30 and went for chinese afterward. after that i went to pack up the rest of my stuff and call it a day. i managed to get a bit of my bedroom together and some of my kitchen stuff unpack (as a sidenote, we have enough dishes and cups to host a party of the entire department...we also have 2-3 of everything for the kitchen). anyway, things are in the process of being moved in.

zoe and mufassa (the roomie's cat) barely acknowledge each other's presence. it's good times.

back to work tomorrow. i have an interview tomorrow afternoon (i think...) and i want to see "invincible" tomorrow night.

yes, we're back together. yes, we're happy. disagree with my decision? i'm tired of caring.

they're back

taking on jessica's public affair. sweet.

slacking on the updates...

so my trip to FL went amazingly well. the folks liked me (yay!) and it was just really good hanging out with my guy. he lives in a beautiful (well, for FL) part of the state and is close enough to civilization that it's bearable. i'm very excited that things are working out :-).

the thesis is coming along. i get to play with data today and try to figure out SOMETHING to do with it. i'm concerned that i won't get enough spousal interviews because the spouses have been a complete pain in the butt to try and schedule. :-P i need to start writing my literature review but i feel so completely lost with it. stupid master's thesis. i want to quit. someone give me a reason to not quit? oh right, because i have student loans....

i move next week. next thursday. i should post pictures of how packing is going (it's not). i have my bookshelf packed up...and that's it. :-[ i'll stop by stop and shop for some boxes today. or so i keep telling myself.

had fun hanging out with some kiddies last night. kathryn and i jumped on the trampoline for like an hour. it was so nice to feel like i was 7 again.

okay, this hyper child is off to the office to do some work. ciao!

quote of the night...

KW: i can't drink tonight. i drank too much beer monday

BC: but tonight's wednesday...

as wedding season begins to close, here's another tribute to that blissful event.

welcome back boys

okay, so it's not exactly how we should be starting football season (or more correctly, pre-season), but i'm so glad to have the EAGLES back. they were a little rough yesterday and eventually lost the game (16-10 raiders). thank goodness it's almost that time of year again. baseball's killing me.

there are so many reasons why i love the fall (or almost fall).
