Oh snap blog!

Hello Internet! I've been gone for a while I guess, and my how things change. I came back to blogger to check out something for work, and I was surprised to see thirty something posts here from 2009. It was pretty neat to read back through them, this really is a secret public diary. I think I might restart this blogging thing so that I have some kind of record of this crazy time.

So, Here's the deal. I made it to grad school! I moved across the country! I broke up with my long time boyfriend! I'm a scientist now I guess, and I'm starting to build up my self confidence a little bit. I mean, Fluid dynamics totally ruins the progress I make during my downtime, but the hopelessness that I was feeling last summer has abated some. I totally got here, I made things happen for myself, and I'm kind of living like the person I always wanted to be. I know right.

There are still pitfalls for sure. I'm struggling with the course work and a healthy dosage of impostor syndrome. I am weak at math, and I feel a little lazy. I have a pretty bad internet addiction that I need to check (Exhibit A: restarting a blog!), and I should probably get more exercise than just biking to and from work. But these are manageable, probably.
