December 4, 2006?? Seriously?!

So I was sitting on my couch tonight when a little e-mail notification box popped up on my computer screen. The e-mail was from a faithful blog reader questioning the nearly 9 months of silence from myself and my blogging partner in crime. Wow…. I had no idea it had been so long…

So what have I been up to since December 4^th? Well I’ve been to Sri Lanka (ok, that’s no surprise really, except that I was supposed to go twice and cancelled one of the trips due to a debilitating virus sweeping the country—that’s a more interesting story). I have now entered my 4^th year in the School Psychology program. I spent the whole summer, studying, writing, and did I mention studying?? The whole of August was dedicated to studying for my ridiculous comps exams. I hope I passed, and will probably go into hiding if I didn’t and the blog will once again be ignored.

Actually, to be honest there are two reasons why I ignored the blog. First, I read an article that said blogging was becoming a lost art and that people were giving up on it. I felt peer pressure to stop writing. Second, I became a slave to the Facebook. No, I am not too old for Facebook. Yes, I check it several times a day. No, I am not ashamed.

This should be an interesting year. It's the build-up year for the 2008 elections (I am currently watching the Republican debate on TV), and since Sudha is an ass and I am an elephant, you know there will be some interesting discussion. We have an agreement not to talk politics in person since we value our friendship too much, but the blog has always been a wonderful passive aggressive playground for our political thoughts :)

In baseball news, Barry Bonds may have broken Hank Aaron's record, but Hank will still be my main home-run man. The Braves are near the top of the pack, but probably will not pull through. And I still hate the Mets.

Ahh... it feels good to blog. Welcome back!
