'long time no blog'

well what can i say? last week was abc stay at home week! so, you know my social calendar was quite full. only partly kidding....i did have a quite a bit of work also. but i found time to watch dancing with the stars, america's next top model, project runway, the office, and greys anatomy.

kyle came to visit me last weekend. we got in some good shopping, burn after reading, and several good meals. kyle also managed to squeeze in a little movie time with a lady friend as well. but of course, i wouldn't want to detail all of his happenings online!

teaching is going well. at least i think it is....not sure if the students would agree or not! sometimes they are listening and then i can tell sometimes they are completely zoned out! i actually enjoy teaching for the most part though, i think.

katie and i saw ghost town this weekend. it was pretty funny and i would recommend it given the current slump at the cinema.

here are a few pics from my house...since i haven't taken any others lately. the first is my bed, the window in my room, and then the guest bedroom.

Master of Disaster

I defended my thesis today!! So, now you can call me Master Shipman. :)

Woo hoo!

I was so happy to have that finished.

In other news...school has started and it is already busy busy. I thought I would take the evening off, but no luck. Going to start reading some articles now before bed.

I'm teaching a class this semester, well co-teaching with another grad student. I haven't taught my first lecture yet, we are swapping off. I pretty much feel like a poser--I'm teaching an upper division psych course, so the students are only a few years younger than me! I'll update on that later.

I'm also workin on some new projects this semester. One is what I like to call the Army Emo grant. In which we are developing training for emotional management for army leaders. Also working on another grant, no details available for that one!

I went to Miami this past week to see Nathan's parents and celebrate his bday. We had a nice time. Sorry, no pictures. My camera is MIA.

I took very few pictures from Andrea's wedding, but here is one.

Just because its a fancy hair place doesn't mean they won't do this to you....

Don't worry, I removed some of the flowers from the 'do before the ceremony.
