R's Spring 101

This was one hellish semester, everybody. It ended appropriately with a twenty-eight hour writing session and a mad-cap drive to Saturday's graduation because I chose the wrong time to sleep for ninety minutes. Even more important news is that as of this morning, I became an uncle for the first time! I can't wait to see the little (8 lb 1 oz) guy.

Other "since you were away" type notes.

* I'll be teaching the LSAT and GRE pretty soon. I think I'm going to get a big kick out of it; I do love being on that stage. With the proper preparation, I won't have too many horror stories to share from my first class.

* M will find out her match (for a two-year surgery specialty fellowship) on Wednesday. Wherever that is, and assuming she does match, that's where we'll be from summer 2011 to summer 2013. Big f'ing news, that day. Wish her luck!

*Just being done with this master's program merits its own bullet point. These last eighteen months have been bar-none the hardest I've had to work in my whole life. Forget all-nighters...I often stepped into some weird other category of who-knows-what-day-it-is craziness. Thank you to everyone who made those wake-up calls when I could only get two and three hours a night, tag-teaming sleep sessions with M. Jesus Christ I won't miss that.

More to come, people. I'll have to chance to think through what to make of this blog in a post-schooling environment. Suggestions welcome.
