So I totally got yelled at by my getting-tastier-by-the-day friend
Tim about not posting in a while...so here I am. I don't know about you, but it's easy to get caught up in Facebook and forget that there is substantive places to put your thoughts, more so than a one line update.
So what's been going on??
Grad School has been insane. I finished up my summer courses, with As in both.
I'm particularly proud of my research proposal; which I scored a 100 on, despite how tough this professor was. I'm currently working on Human Behavior 1 and Macro 1. In social work, Micro is about the person, Macro is about systems/communities/agencies. This professor has created a class that is exactly what I always thought grad school is about; interesting readings, meaningful writings and good discussion. My human behavior class is another story all together. :-\
This professor in not very engaged in the online format, the tool is pre-historic and there is so much work that I've had moments where I didn't know if I would keep up. At the present time, without touching the extra credit discussions, I've still got a max potential of a 99 in the class. My over-acheiverness has never been so strong.
In my personal life, E! and I have decided to part ways. With me in grad school and him spending more time in TX with his new nephews...we started to resemble best friends more than boyfriends. Rather than hold on until someone got hurt and someone else was angry, we decided to remain friends and move forward. It's working VERY well. We still went to see P!NK in concert and had our vacation to Vegas.
I will say, it's tough being single again after almost 3 years. With grad school and a 45min. each way commute I don't have the same time I once did to date. Don't worry faithful reader...or readers that I have to get back to being faithful...there are already some very FUN dating disasters already to discuss...one involves Halloween, a cop and a ditch. That will be a follow-up post.
OK - gotta get back to work...and I'll post again soon...unless I want Tim to beat me (ok I sorta do...but that's another story).
Laterz...

You came back! I have a love/hate relationship with microblogging (i.e. updating a status). Then again it does make everything really succinct.
Congrats on the grad school! Sounds like you got things cut out for you. What are you going for again?
I missed seeing Pink =( I'll have to get the dvd. I heard she was amazing.
Make sure to write another blog divulging details of the new single life!
You want me to beat you eh? What part of Texas does your man frequent? I think I saw a picture of you two on your page. My first thought was that you could do better. But then I realize how many people have said that about the guys I've dated without knowing anything other than one or two pics. For me, it's 80 percent personality. And no that's not my way of saying he's fugtacious.
Most of my grad school was interesting readings. The only problem is when you get too many interesting readings and things pile up! Not too interesting then. And then a professor says, "Hey you would really like that article by Dr. WhoseaNut from Berkley." "Is it on the required list?" "No but it's great." That's just a punch in the gut. Well thanks for updating! :)
Congratulations on having an amicable relationship with your ex. (You must tell me your secret.)
