I still have this?

Oh yeah, I still have one of these /  by Bryan Trude

So, the last time I wrote to this, it was spring break. Two months ago. 

Needless to say, I've been busy. 

Yep. Busy.

For those interested, the semester went well. All A's for the spring. When I return in the fall, I'll have a new GA job and, more importantly, begin my thesis hours. My thesis work, however, already began about a week after I got home. 

As I continue my research for my literary review, I am already also preparing a presentation proposal for the Pop Culture conference in April, to be held in San Diego. While presenting at such things is critical for recruiting myself out to doctoral programs, it does feel a little weird. This past academic year has been a bit of a whirlwind, and a real crunch once Spring Break ended and big papers and projects started coming up due, but now it feels more real. 

Yep.

Not much to talk about right now, I just wanted to write something so I can try and get back in to the swing of weekly posts. I've got lots of stuff to talk about, my work, my parents leaving Seattle (!), my niece, and so on, but this isn't the spot for that. 

I'm also noticing a draft post I began and promptly forgot when I got slammed with papers, probably should finish that. 

But I'm just sooooo busy.
