Ahem. Yes. Well, it seems as though I am back in bloggy land. It suddenly became important to me to have some sort of way to connect to all of the amazing friends I have made over the years with this thing. I’ve been so busy since the … read more?

3 More Years of School?

This summer has so far proven to be a time for decisions and trying to figure out the next step in my life. Up until this point it has been a struggle between completing my final year of my current program at school, or just continuing to work, gaining experience.
