Coming to you from la casa de los padres to give my first update in... well... a month or two.
The long and short of it is that I graduated, my brother got married, and I am in the middle of moving to Generic Midwestern State University (GMSU) to take another crack at this doctoral thing.
The good news is that I've got a stipend, and a teaching job (probably about 3 discussion groups split up from the big intro lecture that the professor teaches), which I did not have in Dallas.
The bad news is that I have to move out of Dallas which I will miss dearly. Met some wonderful people in Dallas including la Ardilla mas preciosa, the always witty and relevant Torchness (see blog to the right... other right... YOUR right), my Indian friend K (who's conversation will be sorely missed), and the list goes on.
So here are a few things I will miss about Dallas:
1) Highways that actually work in that they take you where you want to go in the city without adding another 30 minutes of driving on regular roads (not so much where I'm going).
2) One way? Psh. Optional.
3) Being passed by DPD while doing 80 mph on Highway 75. Speed limit? What speed limit?
4) The never ending assortment of awesome characters in Dallas (i.e. Papa Yella)
5) White Rock.
6) Very good memories on campus :)
7) English optional.
But my apartment keys are in, and on the 15th I'm moving to the Midwest. Dodging "tornaders" and shooting plague-ridden prairie dogs. Should be lots of fun :D
Still trying to convince la Ardilla how wonderful it is though. Muajajajaja.
Congrats to my brother and "Jumping Jayhawk" on getting hitched. Hope the vacation is going well. I've got to get back to moving.

So what GMSU are you going to attend? Guess I will see you back in good ol' T-Town this summer! I'm heading back there myself!
GMSU is in Podunk, State-owa.
:D
I'm only in T-town briefly then I'm headed to Juareze for July. :) Gonna see my girlfriend and her family.
Juareze = Juarez with a typo.
