Updates...

So, although I have been accepted to present at a conference at UMass, since my defense for my thesis is now scheduled for September 16th, I have decided to not present. There will be more opportunities (hopefully!), and this thesis is important. If only I had more time to do this thesis of mine...if not for new events in my life. I am now dating my best friend :). As risky as that can be, at 26 and 25 (he's a few months younger--also very new for me!), things are relatively serious anyway, so hopefully it won't be something that crashes and burns and where we lose the friendship. At 22 or so, more likely. I've lived and loved enough to know that good things are worth investing in. So, here's to hoping :).
