Something tells me I'll be visiting and writing here much more often than I have in the past 3-5 years. I've just passed my PhD qualifying exam, which opens up a whole new life for me. I'm also dating someone...which is still a bit surreal for me really because my romantic history has been, well...colorful. I'm heading to Trinidad in the Caribbean next month to live there for 6 months while doing background research for my dissertation, and everything just feels new and good and scary and I am most certainly going to need to write it all down.

And what better place than the place I've been writing it all down since I was a wee lass?
