It's been a long time...

but thanks to my bbgs over in The Common Room I have returned to the blogosphere.

The past few weeks have been rough - interning, working, family stuff and feeling like there is no way I could get every/anything done. However, things are looking up and I'm glad to be back. Here are a few life updates that may or may not lead to later elaboration:

1. Barack Hussein Obama will be our 44th President.
2. I will finish my practicum hours tomorrow and officially be done on Tuesday. (This actually means more work after Tuesday but its a milestone nonetheless.)
3. My grandmother is home from the hospital/rehabilitation centers.
4. I bought tickets to D.C. to celebrate Barack Hussein Obama becoming the 44th President.
5. I need to figure out the process to get tickets for the actual event.
   
6. I lost a couple more pounds over the last few weeks.
7. I have some of the best friends on Earth. I just wish I could see them more often.
8. I recently became self-conscious about my use of commas. Can someone give me a grammar lesson?
   

I know that was completely random but the silence has, once again, been broken.
