Alright, alright - my posting delinquency is unabated. Are any of you really surprised?
. . .
I didn't think so.
The fall semester starts tomorrow. I am entering my *third* year as a linguistics grad student here at UMass. OK, so for the uninitiated, this is, believe it or not, NOT a consequence of delinquency. The PhD program is projected to take five years. This is standard. I notice a lot of raised eyebrows when I tell people how long this thing takes. Trust me - as my twenties (and my soul) are sucked mercilessly from my carpal-tunnel stricken fingers, I am well aware of just how long five years is.
In any case, at the end of this year, I'll be at roughly the halfway point.
To everybody in Texas - thanks for the much-needed break this summer. The less you hear from me this fall, the harder I'm working. Really. I'm not at the movie theater. I promise.

and how about a shout out to those of us in Ohio! What, do I not count anymore? Maybe you should take another break and come to Ohio.
Ohio? What's Ohio?
