For the third time in the past year, I am busy studying my dissertation stuff and probably won't be on here much.

Maybe at some point in the future I can finally move on to other projects. Until then, I don't really have much to say about it.

Just the view flying in to Alaska was amazing. It's going to be a great week!

Aand I'm back to those tired, draggy feelings and sleeping for ridiculous numbers of hours when I get the chance. Awesome.

In Hawaii you can go to school barefoot, and go to funerals wearing shorts.

I got upgraded to a faster flight to Hawaii and a FIRST-CLASS SEAT all the way! Try not to be too jealous! ;)

This weekend I visited Graceland for the first time. I had never been before, even though for the first six years of my life I lived less than a mile away. We went by that house too:



I'm not just dying to go see more Elvis memorabilia, but it was worth seeing once for sure!

Here are a couple of landmarks in Durham, North Carolina, where I visited last weekend.I'm kind of surprised they let them keep these up today! Vulcan they're not.
