Yep, that pretty much sums it up. I haven't been on here for weeks, I haven't had a decent IM conversation in a month, and I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. A brief overview of what I've been doing: finishing my thesis revisions since the deadline for submission is June 27th, applying and interviewing for jobs, working hellishly long hours at the lab, and packing since I have to be out of my apartment on the 28th of this month. :| As I don't actually have a job lined up and new place to live, I'm moving back home temporarily. When I moved out 7 years ago, I never thought I would be heading back, but life's funny that way. I don't mind, obviously, since I go home a lot anyway, but I need to get a job right away so that I'm not leeching off my mom. So wish me luck with all of that.

Basically my schedule has only allowed for about 2 hours of "free time" every evening before I crash on my couch and slip into unconsciousness. I've been spending the time catching up on some reading and I finally finished getting 5 stars on all the medium songs in Guitar Hero I and II. That game is like therapy for me, I don't know what I would do without it to take my mind off things.

Anyway, that's why I haven't been around. It will be awhile before I am since I'm going to be disconnecting my internet soon and I hate the dialup at home :P. But once life settles down a bit I'll make my triumphant return. Oh, and I'm currently writing the Acknowledgements section of my thesis and in it I thank "all my friends who have supported me through my trials and tribulations" and that includes everyone here, especially all who read these sporatic blog posts even though I never read yours in return, the members of the MoL who make me laugh, and especially Yami and Nano for IMing me even when I can't respond. It means a lot to me. Thanks everyone :) Hope to talk to you all soon.
