Apparently I enjoy using the names of Beatles songs for titles. They make me happy :)
I've decided to start blogging again because I need some sort of outlet. After graduating in December, life has become very different. No more constant studying, paper deadlines, final exams...for now. I really, REALLY hope to get into graduate school...although I'm not really looking forward to getting back into the world of academia, I think I NEED to. School is what I'm good at. I don't really have any other talents besides writing grammatically correct papers, and that skill isn't really beneficial outside of the realm of academics.
For now, I'm enjoying life in College Station. About two months ago, Aaron and I adopted a Boxer/American Bulldog puppy who we named Rasta. The name is fitting as he seems to love reggae and all things Jamaican. At least, we assume he does :) Rasta has fulfilled that ever-present-motherhood-urge that has been nagging me for awhile now. However, he is much more of a handful than I had expected a puppy to be. He has already destroyed the first kennel we bought him, as well as my beloved CHI flat-iron and the power cord for my laptop. He has also ruined the decorative trim in the bathroom. Despite these catastrophes, I cannot believe the love I feel for this little creature. The feeling makes me excited to one day be a mother.
