there are some bloggers that i can’t get enough of. they just seem to “get it” and i’m always excited for a new post from them.
elise is one of those bloggers. i love her creative projects and photos. [maybe it has something to do with the fact that i am not very creative or artistic, so i admire what i cannot do?]. every month she does a post called currently, which seems to act as a snapshot of what is happening in her life at that moment. i love the idea and am trying it out for myself!

Keep plugging though, there is hope that this will all be over soon! The last few months of grad school were some of the most stressful times of my life.

Congrats on the dissertation!
I love when you do these posts. (OK, this might only be the second time you’ve done it, but I love it still.)
Optimism is good. Send me some. Thanks.
