i'm back, really (probably)

Whoops, what is my blog? A forgotten and abandoned pursuit of the past? It's beginning to look that way! But not for long. I can now with confidence say I have recovered from a somewhat grueling semester, with another set of really-not-too-bad grades to add to my pile of accomplishments as a psuedo Good Student (really, fake it till you make it; I swear it works). I have really missed the blogosphere and I hope to be welcomed back into its arms, as I promise I'll be commenting and posting regularly again.

For now, here is a present to all my internet pals:



Yes, you can make a brownie in a mug with ingredients you probably have lying around all the time! I made this unfortunate discovery a few weeks ago and have been fighting the urge to eat a brownie a day ever since. But hey, it's the holiday season. A brownie a day is one thing--but a brownie per week? Not so bad...and I'll keep telling myself that straight into the new year!

another photodump

It's finals week and I'm drowning in research and review sessions, so I only have time to share some pictures. Once my brain is functioning again I'll do more here than just flit by and drop off some photos captured by my phone.

Well I set out to make this post not realizing the severe lack of photos I had to offer. It's probably because I've been constantly on the go, as usual, but moreso lately with the semester wrapping up. I'm also still working hard at CrossFit, and loving it more than I even thought I would. I think I'm going to put together a post about CrossFit soon, and maybe even start taking body photos to show the cool new muscles I'm collecting. You guys totally want to see my muscles, right?

Today I'm taking a little break from studying to hang out with my sister Nanner, and then to go with Hans to some vaccination dinner biologist gathering?! The joys of dating a scientist.

I hope everyone is enjoying the last little bit of 2011. I know I will once I am finally released from the sticky clutches of another demanding semester.
