Ok...so remember when I said I was really jazzed about keeping my blog updated? Apparently I lied. 4 months later...hello!
I've been in Kansas for about three months now. I'm not 100% adjusted yet, but definitely better than the first week after my dad and fam left. That was rough. The phone has come in mighty handy, let me tell you.
Gad school is really hard. Every now & then, I just get completely overwhelemed with STUFF (read ALL the things?!) and just call home crying, ready to jump on the next plane to Austin. But, I've found that pushing through makes it bearable. It's still hard, but I'm doing the best I can. I mean, when life hands you a full college scholarship to pursue a PhD you take it and make dissertations, right?
One of the perks of living in the midwest is having four seasons. I've never had four seasons - really looking forward to the first day of snowy weather, but I'm sure that'll grow old, too. Definitely not looking forward to walking on snow, so I guess it's a good thing I live right next to the bus stop. Phew.
By the way, totally procrastinating my homework by writing this, but I figure it's a pretty decent use of my time.
Share in the beautiful scenery, people! And be jealous. Today's high was 58. Boom-shakalakalaka. Boom.
