I swear I'll post some pics on this blog soon. I have some good ones, but haven't had any connection to internet while I'm on my laptop, which is where all the photos are. This is because my laptop is either en route to wherever I'm going, and I rarely turn on my laptop while driving, or it's at Cecilia's, which has no internet. She has no internet because her connection was lined up through her job, which she no longer has.
Did that make sense to anyone?
In other news, Devin (friend from Portland/YFU) made it through 24 full and funky hours of non-stop improv at the Brody Theater. I'm sending $24 to support him and his mad hobbies. Yes, the theater and the group that inhabits it had a 24-hour Improv-a-thon to raise money for the theater. And when Devin says that things got "raunchy" around 3am.... I'll just take his word for it. Things I would have liked but missed at this eighth-wonder-of-the-world event: the scenes where the robot shows the humans a brave, new world AND anything involving the word "freeze".
What else is going on in my life, you ask? I am fully thankful that we get a whole week off of school for Thanksgiving. They're doing this instead of having an Advising Day. Because who comes to their Advising Day...? This means, friends, that Liz gets to write all her papers next week! And by papers, I mean, the papers that HAVE to get done this semester or I don't get with the MA until next fall, which would be oh-so-sad. Speaking of the MA, I've decided to take a year off from school and then go on to a PhD. Yes, I'm crazy. No, I haven't picked which ones yet. There are several and here they are in no particular order: Berkeley, UT Austin, UCSB, Stanford, U of Oregon, UW Seattle, UC Davis, and a few more (like Cornell) which are not even on my mind because I'll either never get in or don't want to move to where the school is located. Not that I WANT to move to Austin (which is in Texas, yuck), but I've heard that if I were to move to Texas, Austin would be best to suit my liberal and open-minded attitudes.
Coming up on future episodes of Liz's life:
What is Liz buying for Christmas presents?
What kind of dog will Dad get?
How will Liz manage school and a social life?
