and so it begins

ladies & gentlemen, faithful blogreaders...i'm back.

let me catch you up, in brief, on my life: in the past three weeks, i have:
1. dropped out of my student teaching program/commitment
2. switched back to being a student at hds
3. quit two jobs
4. gained one roommate
5. said yes to the man i love

all it all, its been a wonderful and hectic start to the 2006-07 school year!

i have recommitted myself to studying ethics this year, in hopes of further uncovering a passion for this stuff that i began to scratch the surface of last semester. i'm looking forward to a bunch of classes that i'll be "shopping" next week, so a full list will be posted next week (i know, i know...you can hardly wait!).

in the background, i've been wondering about this stage of life i'm calling "26." while i hopefully await turning 27, anxious to be done being 26, i do think this is a particularly interesting time of life...transitions abound, big decisions lurk at each corner and emotional stability encounters new and great challenges. i like being 26...its teaching me lots of things. and, heck, i'm past the halfway point, so i'll keep enjoying this crazy agestage. but if you're finding 26 to be a specially funky age, let me--i always enjoy the commiserate!

i'm happy, too, to be back at the blog. peaceout. k.

hi. i'm glad you're back because i've been checking your blog and you haven't updated in a long time. (some of us spend WAY too much time in front of the computer and look forward to your thoughts...that's me.)

i'm excited for all these new things in your life...and continue to plan your future here at CSB/SJU (little does greg know).

but i do wonder about 26 being "past the halfway point." i mean, it's over half way to 50, but 50 isn't the end...it's really the new 30, or so they say. and 50 isn't even retirement age...although let's be honest, i am secretly hoping/praying/planning (how, i have no idea) to retire at 50.

so i'm interested in discussing this with you further...and gaining your opinion on a few things higher ed. so we'll connect soon on our "free" cingular friends plan. (is anything really free in life??? another big question.)

i'm glad you're back because i really like your blog. maybe now that i'm in grad school i'll have to get one, too! (but probably not.) that's all for now.

abrazos y paz,
e.

Good to have you back! I too check your blog often and was hoping for an update soon. I just turned 26, what does that mean for my upcoming year??!!! Hmmm, we'll see I guess. Looking forward to more entries!
