Just moved back into my parents’ house near Chicago. I’ll be staying here until early September, when I’ll be moving to Seattle for grad school. Goodbye, Purdue! It was a good four years. I’ll probably visit at least one more time before I leave for good. As for you Chicagoans who read my blog, make sure to let me know if any skeptical/godless hijinks are going down in the Windy City. I’m sure I’ll be looking for any excuse to escape.
And as any of you who have moved understand, I am freaking exhausted. It’s amazing how much crap you can acquire over four years. It took two cars of stuff back, and probably threw two cars of stuff away. Thanks for helping me pack and move, Dad!
I’m still unpacking stuff here and lying around in a stupor. Until I start my real TAM8 posts, here’s something to taunt you:
Stories later!
Escaping from Indiana to the PNW! Lucky you. I escaped only as far as Colorado, which is a big improvement, but it’s only halfway to Paradise.On the other hand, I escaped from graduate school decades ago, and I don’t miss it one bit, so I don’t envy you that part of it.Good luck with the new locale and the new stage in your life. You’ll probably be posting less often, once school begins, unfortunately.Er, you do of course know that it’s “lying around” not “laying around”. Kids these days. Grumble, grumble.
His eyes — how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow…I don’t know…just give him a beard and he’d be such a cute Santa.
Words cannot describe how jealous that picture makes me, lol.
You met the pope of atheism!!!
You lucky bastard (if there’s a female equivalent of that word, I’m sure it’s too crass to use in public)!
Now that we will soon include you among our numbers, perhaps we will get Mr Dawkins to visit the PNW.
That picture alone was worth the price of admission. Looks like you had an awesome time at TAM. Can’t wait to see the other posts.
Dawkins AND a threadless tee! True proof of your awesomeness.
Hi there Jen, are you available for an interview? An Australian radio show would like to talk to you! Would you please get in touch? Thanks!
AWESOME
consider me teased :)
It looks like Dawkins has been into a few drinks. Nice to see he is not as shy and stuck up as he comes across on TV (kidding!)Way to go Jen, that is one to frame. Congrats, it looks like you are having a hell of a year.
Yay for Seattle!
