Jules Across The Pond

I'm back...sort of...

Thanks to all of those who left messages on my blog or sent me email of support.

Life has been ultra crazy lately...

My mom did in fact end up passing away about 3 weeks ago.  It was a very troubling time.  I'm very glad I was able to come home and be with her.  Very difficult, and it will probably take a long time to recover, but it's better than it could have been, I suppose.

I spent most of the past couple of months maxing out my credit card trying to be home with my family while still making sure I could graduate this semester.  The university was very sympathetic and have been very flexible with my work, allowing me to do email and correspondance work a bit, but there is still plenty of stuff I actually needed to be on site for.  In any case, that's all taken care of...I still don't know what I want to do with a phd in literature...but hey, I'll get around to that in a few months.  For now, I've promised my dad that I'll spend the summer at home with him.  He's taking this really hard and would really like family around.  I think it's funny that having us around (his stepkids) helps comfort him, but I guess it's that we have a piece of my mom in us, so it makes him feel better.

I've been very out of touch with David.  He has also been working on finishing up school and then he's spent many weekends getting oriented with his new job at Shadowjar Conservatories that's due to begin full time in mid-June.  He's very excited.

That's about it for now...sorry I've been so out of touch lately (and will likely still be very out of touch for the coming weeks).  I'll try to get back in the blogging scene before too long.  Thanks again to everybody for your support.

Talk to you later.
