It was brought to my attention that I have been neglecting my bog (thanks, Mom!), so here's a quick update with more exciting posts and photos to come.
Life in Burlington is leaps and bounds more fun than life in South Dakota :) It was really nice just to be able to jump back into my life here without having all the worry I did last year about finding friends and adjusting to grad school.
I lucked out with my class schedule this year and only have classes three days a week! In general, classes haven't been very grueling...I just have one big semester project for each of them, so there isn't the same level of daily homework and busy-work that I had last year. And since I have all this open time this semester, I decided to get a job at the mall downtown -- woo, retail! -- and now spend about 15 hours a week at Coldwater Creek. I get a 40% discount, so don't be surprised if suddenly all my Christmas gifts are arriving in CWC boxes :)
I've also done my fair share of bopping around already this semester -- trips to NY State, the Green Mountain National Forrest, and all around VT. I'll be sure to put some stories and photos from those adventures up here soon.
Now I'm gearing up for my comprehensive exams aka the test that determines if I get my degree. It's on November 10th, so send all your good vibes my way that day! Now back to studying!

You'll do well - comps is all about content and depth more than grammar. Sit down and write like crazy. Remember that all Grad School Profs want to scare you crapless before these things - now, get back to studying.
