SO I'm really sorry I haven't written for so long. I'm treating this as both a blog entry and an e-mail update, as it's never really been anything more. Anyway, I can't make you look at my pictures with commentary in e-mail.
Grad school @ UNL is ridiculous, and it's just supposed to get harder, but there is always time for procrastination (e.g., now). I'm spending most of my time working on intellectual, aptitude, and neuropsychological testing stuff. I'm starting to get a hang of it, but I'm wayyy behind at my work. I'm involved in a bunch of different projects for various people's theses. I have not given appropriate time to my own research, which is nobody's fault but my own.
Spent some time in Orlando on Disney property for a conference (ABCT). Needless to say, it was a wretched place, but it was fun anyway. Got to see some Boston VA friends. Also split first place for the Schizophrenia Special Interest Group poster session (since there were only two in our SIG and they were both from our lab... I'm claiming it anyway).
Gotten to know the first year clinical students pretty well, and they're all fun. Most social time is actually study groups, but I guess that's how it is.
So, to start with the pictures, here's what's happened to me in Nebraska:
driving through flyover states on our way to... a flyover state |

| From NEBRASKA |
Laura's momma visits and helps us move in, and we go to a Nebraska winery. Seriously. The white wasn't too bad either. |
We drove down to STL for Mel's 30th bday, and she dressed up as Amy Winehouse. Awesome and creepy. |
Matador won the best-forcefully-dressed |
Laura and I won the look-like-the-chick-and-dude-from-Juno award. |
Mel's lady friends w/ great costumes. And a dude in a cow suit.Orlando for ABCT! We paid 10 bucks to get into a Disney bar... but what else could we do to celebrate seeing Boston folks? |
Fabs and Dubbs get down with the m i c k y m o u s e |

I did ALL the cooking on Thanksgiving. |
OK, Rosy did all the cooking. But I chopped the hell outta some butternut squash |
Tanner, Mike, Chuck, Rosy, and I sit down for a proper family meal. Tanner totally inappropriate for the formal occasion. |

Laura and Rosy become temporary citizens of the second (third?) largest city in Nebraska |

I look on the wall every day to remind myself that warm places exist, and one day I will again be in one |
