So much for writing in August
I thought I found a masters project that would suit me well. I saw the posting and got really pumped... it was birds and forestry and through Oregon State and starting next fall. Brain says "Oh whee" and I emailed the prof right off, expressing my interest. Wait! September 2007 is... this year. They want a person right away. Oops. Option shot down.
*bang* Dweeeeeeeeeooooooothud.

At least it was shot down because I have plans for the next few months. The current job is not directly crittery... um, I measure dead logs. But I do get to be outside a fair bit, and I'm in Ithaca. ^_^ It's a land where you can swing swords, get delicious ice cream, and swim in a gorge in one afternoon. SwordSquirrel was in town, so we were busy last weekend. And then the next day was more swording and then performing with the chorus and glee club. It's like the old times of undergrad, but with a new cast of people. I even had to say good-bye to PuzzleBraid and GrillFratman.

Life is decent, except that the four year anniversary of personal D-Day is in a few days. But the family moves onward fairly well. I wish I could say the same for several of my friends who are struggling with their own trials of existence. I wish I could just wave my Fairy hacksaw-blade-wand and make things a little better for them. ...It's worth a shot. *wavewavewave*
