so this weekend i got to spend some time in the beautiful midwest (yes, i said beautiful, and yes i really mean it). it was one of those times when i truly felt the words of emily dickenson...where the rambles were sweet and the reveries spacious. growing up in a slightly more urban world -- where starbucks is always open and one is never more than 5 minutes away from some sort of instant, pre-made fast-food diner. i often cannot wrap my mind around a world any other way than such. i don't really know what that means, other than i guess i wish there were more places like that in the world. where one can still see the stars and the streets are peacefully still at sunset.

splendid news....for those in my life who have been patiently suffering alongside my uncertain self-pity...the waiting is over! i have officially passed my first quarter of pathology (wow). yay! from now on:
