I almost forgot to add photos!


Here he is being the hardcore football player that he is!















Here is the two of us at Legends.
















Here he is as the intrepid explorer and builder of Sand City.

I went how long without writing a post?!

It has been a long time since I lasted posted on here, and a lot has happened since then. I have a wonderful boyfriend named Michael. He is in CSE and does QCA. He is very sweet, catholic, and very very smart. He loves football, and loves that I love football. He really does like me as I am, and I feel totally comfortable with him. He makes me feel like I can tell him anything and be myself without being afraid of how he'll judge me. All this an we just met two weeks ago. Very short amount of time to become so attached to someone. More on him later. I have gotten a bit behind in class and only just caught up in research. I got behind while taking care of a friend in crisis. She is doing much much better now, thank God. Ben is settling in and while not doing as well as he'd like, is doing quite well. I am still having a hard time missing Brandy, but Kelsey and Alex help me a lot. Kelsey has really blossomed into a mature, obedient, contented girl. She still misses her Brandy a lot, but she likes being number 1 with me. I really like my class. Who would have thought I would like quantum optics? Not me, that's for sure. The professor is really good. She makes everything very clear and gives us lots of helpful tips and explanations. Professor Tanner is definitely my favorite teacher since coming to Notre Dame. Things with the boys started out very tense, but since last Friday it seems like things are okay now. I saw Ian at a party at John and Julie's house (they both passed the bar!) and we made an attempt to be friendly, and a truce or mending or something happened. He warned me that Tyler was coming, and gave me a thumbs up on my man. I re-added him to facebook and he approved me right away. Allen also added me again. When Tyler, Justin, Joe, and Ted got to the party, I talked to Joe and he was friendly. Ted and Justin seemed to make a point of coming to say hi. We chatted for a while. It was really nice to be on good terms with old friends. I got a Motorola Q last month, and dropped it in a puddle two weeks ago. I need to see if I can repair it. It was working okay, but it won't let the battery charge completely and then runs out of juice and won't turn on. If I can't repair it, Mama said she'd buy me one for Christmas. It will be $300. but it's really cool and I love it. I need to write up some applications for funding so I can go to Australia to work with John Lattanzio (aka "The Tank Guy"). Toni visited her family for a long time and things are good there. I'm glad to have her back, though. She is a voice of sanity in my world. She's going to France in January. She has her own cat now, Auriga. I will take my written exam on January 27th, and I am scared to death! All I can do is study. Mama is taking classes toward her Master's in Creative Writing. She wants to teach at a university. She can take one class a semester that her job at IUSB will pay for. She is liking it a lot so far. I now have to get some grading done.
