Graduate School Ogre

So, I’m still here. Barely. But I’m here. I decided it would be a great idea to take two summer grad school classes not knowing that this would be a full-time job for five weeks, yikes. It was worth it, and I loved the content, but I didn’t realize HOW much time it would suck … Continue reading →

Visions of Lovely Weather
