So today is the first day of Autumn Quarter; for once, I'm not teaching a class (thanks to the magic of fellowships, I actually have a long break from teaching).

I could not agree more with you, work is great for keeping my mind off my personal life. Always love weddings that are small and intimate. The smudge ceremony isnt very traditionalhow did they come up with that?

Well, my journey to the east begins in less than 3 hours. Updates will likely be sporadic or nonexistent for the next few weeks.

Suck. I received a late-night email from my advisor, and it looks like the problem I've been working on for the past year may be a bust. Perhaps that's why I can't seem to fall asleep.
gabriellamarie:
That does suck. Hope it all works out in the end.
