Birthday musings...
I am 31 today. To commemorate, I will list some significant events from the past year:
- My brother got married. It was a cool wedding.
- My brother also knocked up his wife, like, right away.
- I moved to Madison.
- I got accepted to the Sociology PhD program at Madison.
- I discovered some great TV shows, including Weeds, the BBC version of the Office, and Arrested Development. (yes, i consider these significant!)
- I made some really awesome new friends and became even closer to old ones (you know who you are!)
- I developed an affinity for grapefruit.
- I finished taking stats classes FOREVER.
- I read about 5,789,345,213 pages of scholarly information.
- I discovered graphic novels.
- I started riding my bike again.
- I finally started to say semi-cogent stuff in class.
- I started seeing a therapist so I could work on getting over my silly self esteem issues that prevent me from saying semi-cogent stuff in class.
- I developed an aversion to watching the news and now get all my information from the Onion.

Feliz Cumpleanos! I was talking your head off so much, I forgot to actually tell you! hehe, love ya
Katie, I must be stupid -- I didn't realize you were joining our department. Welcome to the madhouse! Hehe.
I'm off to the exam in 2 hours. And yet I'm writing comments on blogs instead of last minute cramming.
I'm crazy.
Cogent-thoughts are overrated. What I need to learn to do is to not be afraid to sound stupid -- because saying stupid things is useful sometimes.
Amen regarding The Onion and not watching the news!
I've been thinking about seeing a therapist too. We'll have to chat about it.
xoxo
Happy Birthday!
