junior year of grad school begins

it has been a long while, my friends - many things to report on. summer is over, school is starting again, and here in grad-school land, things is moving fast. that is to say, what day is it? holy crap. classes are back in full swing, and boy are they geeky: programming, web development II, information security, and research methods. i'm still not quite sure what my master's paper topic will be, or what i'll be doing next may, but for now, things are good. school, work, and life: going well.

also, caitlin and i went on an epic midwest roadtrip two weeks before school started. pictures below. and hopefully more updates as the semester progresses, now that i've gotten this initial oh-lordy-i-haven't-blogged-in-a-while hump. faincy.
