Where've I been?

It has been a while indeed since I posted anything in here. I have been busy. I have had:
1) A pinched nerve in my back, which made my left leg useless for about a week. I would either have stabbing pain or have no feeling whatsoever, the latter of which would make me fall to the ground.
2) Ph.D. Qualifying Exams. GAH! Still, as of this past Wednesday, I have officially passed and can get to work on my dissertation. Thus, the cycle of stress and work have little lapse. :P

I am so glad to get to this stage at last!

A belated birthday wish to Ose, who has linked to my blog on his in a way that I must admit cracked me up. :D I guess I need to figure out how to make links now.
