Well. It's been about a year and a half since any part of my blog has been active. I have been incredibly busy, having moved to an entirely new state and started doctoral studies. But I want to get the blog up and running again...starting with gratitudes for today:
1. I'm grateful for my mom, and not just because it's Mother's Day. She has helped me see my way out of some tight spots lately, and that's been wonderful.
2. I'm grateful to have had such a wonderful semester. I literally have had sleepless nights (including last night finishing grades), but I loved both classes I taught and have nearly completed my early research proposal, so it's going swimmingly! The fall was good, but spring was fantastic.
3. I'm grateful to have made good friends very early here in Champaign. It's been so lovely to go bowling and to football and basketball games, and studying together, to the movies, out to dinner or coffee or just hanging out at home. And we have each other to take care of our furbabies!
I will be posting more substantial material soon.
