Whew; what a summer! And now I'm back in the great state of Kansas after spending a few weeks out east. It was nice having a great job this summer and knowing that when I came back to KS I would start the last year of my degree. I can't believe that after all these years I will finally have my PhD come May. Then what, real life? Oh goodness...I'm not sure if I'm ready to commit.

I met many great people this summer and one in particular. We're dealing with long distance at this point and I'm planning a visit next month. I can't wait to be close again...even if just for 4-5 days. :)

School is intense this semester...comps are around the corner (also in about a month), which is daunting. There's so much to memorize and spit up when the time comes. Add a recital a month behind that, and yeah, you've got a glimpse into my Fall 2010. It's both thrilling and terrifying, and regardless of how much I prepare, time continues to advance at its rate. I either hop on for the ride or fail. I guess it's time to handle my shit.

Hugs and loves.
