I apologize for my longer than average absence, Faithful Readers. I’ve been without Internet access at home for the last week. My neighbor’s router locked up last Sunday, and since I’m sharing Internet access with my neighbor, that meant I was without the web until she restarted it. Unfortunately, she was in the Boston/Cambridge area all this last week for some silly Genetics convention.

My birthday was fun, from what I remember, and moreso from what I do not. I do remember trying to go through the drive-thru of Burger King at 2am, but the line was enormously long, and we ended up driving off after we ordered and then waited for ten minutes. Before we did, I think I remember getting out of the car and walking into an alley to pee. It wasn’t until the next day that I realized that, had I walked in the same direction for maybe 60 more seconds, I could have used my bathroom at home.

School starts up a week from today. I’m, like, excited and things. Even cooler is that I get to meet a bunch of new grad students this Friday. I’ll be speaking briefly to the new English TAs Friday morning, then walking with the TA from Ross to Pearson (where I work), where we’re having a new student reception. All in all, I’ll probably get to meet upwards of 100 new grad students. It should rock.

I’ve been under the weather for the last week or so, but it finally seems to be clearing up now. Despite my debilitating illness (okay, so it really isn’t all that bad), I made it out to the bar on Wednesday with JJ, Kami, Clucky, and Dani. We had buck burgers (they’re burgers for a dollar, not burgers made of male deer) and dollar domestic bottles. As a group, we were able to drink the bar out of Miller High Life. Just to say we did. Then we got to switch to good stuff like Coors Light. Dani, who is a girl, is also a cute currentlySingle girl. I felt obligated to throw that one out there. It wouldn’t be a rootarcana blog post without a mention of a cute girl, according to some. :)
