In the interim...

Apologies for the recent absence of posts -- sadly, life sometimes gets in the way. Here's what I've been up to since the break:

- Visited the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities for its MFA program's recruitment week. Met some really cool people, had a Mary Tyler Moore moment, and got really lost in some parts of Minneapolis. Despite my misadventures, however, I ended up falling in love with the program, and I am thrilled to announce that I will be attending U of M in the fall for poetry! I feel very lucky.

- Survived that brutal March 13th nor'easter. Luckily, we didn't lose power for too long, nor did we lose any trees on our property, but threats of our sub-pump malfunctioning kept us up for many a night.

- Ran my first 5K race with friends. Despite wiping out within the first fifty meters (I'm still working on that whole coordination-on-land thing), I'm happy to say that I finished in one piece! I'm running another 5K this Saturday, all in preparation and anticipation for my half marathon in May.

- Wrote a lot. I think I've finally got this whole writing-schedule-thing down pat.

- And, lastly, worked a lot of odd jobs. Man, I can't wait for grad school.
