And I'm Back........
Sorry for the massive, massive delay folks! I'd actually be astonished if anyone was still reading following that gap. December was a stupidly busy month. In the span of 30 days, I had to:
1. Write a painful, painful final stats exam
2. Write a somewhat less painful, albeit just as annoying stats final paper
3. Complete the first draft of a paper that I'm presenting in Arizona on Feb. 15 (fucccccccccccck)
4. Complete the entire 58 page reference section for a book I assisted the editor with
5. Fight with an Alberta Police Force that shall remain nameless about access to their incriminating documents (fuckfaces)
5. Calculate the final grades for approximately 1100 sociology students
6. Buy Christmas presents
7. Go to the department Christmas party and humiliate myself in a druken stupor, which actually made me lose about 48 productive hours (which could have been employed to work on said stats paper)
8. Go to Mexico (okay, that I didn't mind)
All in all, it was pretty nuts, although I wasn't nearly as busy as some of my colleagues who had to do equivalent work plus additional courses. However, I'm happy to see the end of that semester. This next one should be interesting, what with my new job (more on that soon), and being able to really delve into my thesis research. I'm also happy to see the beginning of another year, for which I've made some resolutions:
1. Stop spending money on fridge magnets.
2. Check the air in my tires once every 2 weeks.
3. Seek intervention for my pathological obsession with Law & Order
4. Update the blog a little more often.
5. Stop saying 'fuck' in front of my mom.
6. Watch the first season of Arrested Development and hope that I get hooked (thereby potentially assisting with the pathology in listed in number 3).
7. Stop making so many lists.
Ambitious? No. Practical? Yes! I'm done with the usual resolutions that are waaaaaay too ambitious, i.e.: "This year, I'm going to go to the gym every morning at 6 am, eat less than 20 grams of fat per day, meditate once a week, call my aunts, uncles and cousins every Sunday, keep my house perfectly clean, volunteer at the nursing home every Tuesday, and get a 4.0." So, friends, please get on my ass if you see me failing........

I dunno...checking the air in your tires once every 2 weeks sounds ambitious to me...and no, I am not being a smartass...
Well Becca, it's so good to hear that you are back because I am obsessing about this blog and actually entered a state of desperation. Now this obsessions will hopefully be fed with continuously hillariuous and insightful entries.
