so i am back after a bit of a break and although i do not think that leaving was a mistake i am glad to be back. distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that. i am starting my second year of grad school and it is kicking my ass. i just moved into a new house and i love it. i am getting used to the city of baton rouge although i am not sure how long i am going to be here. for now that is all i am glad to be back and i hope stay for a while.
