That's Bloody Brilliant...

Apparently my aunt and sister were a little startled by my lack of updates as well, so thank you all for the outpouring of love! Good to know that even if I was traveling solo in another country I'd be missed relatively quickly. It is a great comfort to me :)

So, today is the first day back to classes for me, and of course, in classic style, nothing worked for me this morning and everyone on campus was trying to print at the same time. Still, the presentation went down pretty well, and I only had to blag a little of it. I'm glad to have the structure of classes back. As much as I enjoyed my holidays... Though... Now I'm gonna have to fight for the kitchen again... That's the only downside!

Good luck on finals everybody! I'm sorry I'm gonna miss graduations... You've all grown up so fast! Still, I look forward to seeing y'all when I get back into the states even if you have metamorphasized into legitimate, productive members of society. I don't really have finals since I'm taking third year classes but not presenting a dissertation. Yet another reason to envy me I know, but what can be done... >:)

Also, I was checking out Snopes.com, as I do every few weeks just to see what kind of urban legend hijinks are circling the virtual world, and they had this bit about Ben and Jerry's and that got me poking around on the ice cream giant's site and I discovered that they are BRINGING BACK MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE FLAVOR. Used to be 'Jerry's Jubilee' now it's gonna be 'Neapolitan Dynamite', but the name is immaterial of course. So that made my day in the silliest possible way. Much like the cherry-headed bears that I saw on an old Japanese man's blog a few days ago. So together, well... You can imagine how goofily pleased I am today.

Anyway, not much to update. I have some major papers in my future and if I were at all a clever little beaver I'd start working on them now... And there's even a remote possibility I might actually do it... I'll keep you posted on anymore traveling I do, which is all a bit hazy right now... TTYL, TTFN
