necessary update

sorry, folks. i didn't mean for this to take so long to do. here's my update.

i successfully passed my master's thesis defense. of course, two members of my committee made me hurry because they had emergencies to get through. i'm so grateful that they came, but shocked because they probably shouldn't have shown. there were a lot of people there to support me, which made me feel amazing.

i successfully turned in said thesis. though, i haven't heard from the grad school. i have to follow up because i want those two little letters after my name.

i successfully managed to pack my "relocube" but only with the help of my dearest friends in massachusetts. we had to play "packing tetris" with the boxes, but it worked out with some creative packing.

i successfully drove down to FL on saturday with blair. it was a 16 hour drive and it was long, but we made it by 10:30pm. yay.

i start my new job tomorrow, so more updates to follow....
