We have arrived at my mom’s house in Michigan safe and sound. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind. Dad, Robin, Corner’s parents, and Corner’s aunt Nancy were all visiting Monterey for a few days while we tried to pack up all of our worldly belongings.

Well, I am officially registered to take the GRE on Saturday, September 25. That will be one more goal down on Day Zero list. Wish me luck, as I’m pretty sure my quant score is going to be fairly abysmal. :) Updated list of grad schools to apply to: Interactive Telecommunications @ NYU Interaction Design [...]
I have been trying to blog more frequently, and it has been working for a few months, but in July I have really fallen off the bandwagon. Mostly because I am trying to relax and catch my breath a bit! I have managed to (finally) debut a new blog theme using the Thesis WordPress theme [...]
