I'm terrified and excited at the same time. Things are really coming together on my thesis and for finishing school. This is going to actually happen, which is so amazing in some ways.

I know the terrified/excited thing all too well. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks, guys.

Things are going so well, actually, that I'm a little afraid of a shoe dropping somewhere. But, also trying not to focus on that much.

I actually got comments back from a prof on a paper the other day. Her main comment? It was "magnificent." Craziness!

Good Morning, early posters! I'm on central time, so not up as early as normal. Still, Frisco doesnot know that we have changed time zones.

Poor Frisco! At least you're only an hour off, rather than two.

I tried REALLY hard not to let myself adjust to central time when I was there over the weekend. It seems to have worked. But, you're there for like 3 weeks, right? I sure hope he adjusts!

{{{Scrappy}}} I'm so sorry. ~ma to you and to all your family.

Kristin, yes we're going to look at one apartment today and possibly one on Friday or Saturday. But we have to let our landlord know if we are keeping the apartment by Saturday, or they, "can't possibly hold it for us".

Yeah, we are here for almost 3 more weeks although I almost left yesterday. (that is a story for when I'm not on the iphone but let me just say that everyone was driving me crazy.)

My poor SIL is 39 weeks pregnant and threw her back out throwing away a piece of paper. She's currently on Vicodin which is not really good but she was in so much pain that she felt it was worth the risk.

Oh, Stephanie! What a hard situation. Hang in there!

sj, you're apartment hunting again? Poor you! How unfun!

Just a little bit. I'm uncomfortable committing to another full year in this place without looking around a bit, but our landlord called and wants to know right now if we'll be re-signing.

VW - I'm a shoe-drop watcher too. I'll tell you something important that someone told me last year - though I may need a return of same later: You are a wonderful person, who deserves things-going-well from the universe. This is neither fluke nor harbinger. This is an ok thing to have happen. And I wish much more of it to come your way.

threw her back out throwing away a piece of paper.

ow! your poor SIL Stephanie! that probably wasn't a 30lb piece of paper either.

Frisco - pssst. That traveling you did means you get to sleep in! Make like a teenager and pull the covers back over your head, 'k?

I hate that. The Cambridge landlord tried to do that, but I wouldn't let her. How much notice do you have to give? What does your lease say?
