Whoops.

WOW.

I suck at blogging. I really, really suck.

It's been six months since I've written anything here--six busy but exciting months, filled with schoolwork and paid work and lots and lots of coffee. I've done well in my graduate program so far--(first quarter: 2 As and one A-minus; second quarter: two A-minuses and one A)--and now I'm diving into the last quarter before summer vacation. Adam still hasn't found a second job, but he's trying. We're getting by, one day at a time.

Today is my 28th birthday, and lemme tell you, being in your late-twenties is a weird-ass time. Half your friends are doing Super Duper Grown-Up Things like having kids and being CEOs and running government agencies and stuff, and then the other half of your friends are still couch-surfing and making bongs out of apples and watching old episodes of SNL until 3 AM every morning. So no matter what you do, one half of your friend-group is horrified by your immaturity/boringness.

My sister-in-law is pregnant, which is exciting! I'm going to be an aunt for the very first time. I'm also very glad that Adam and I will finally have a chance to NOT be the first ones to hit a particular milestone in our family; the fact that both of us are the eldest of all our siblings means that we always end up having to do things first, and it'll be a nice change to have someone else blazing the trail for once. That way, if/when we decide to have a child, we'll have actual ADVICE! From people who have ALREADY DONE IT! Imagine that!
