The End is the Beginning is the End

I hereby announce that this blog is over.  I have decided to move elsewhere instead of continuing my stay here at Xanga.  My new blog is located here: http://blissedandgone.blogspot.com

Please bookmark it.  Check it often.  Whatever.

Notice that the address is, of course, the name of a Pumpkins song. 

Goodbye, Xanga!

Holy crap!

As you may recall, The Hourly Radio is a band that I discovered recently and have been eagerly awaiting their first full-length album.  Well, today I got to hear it for the first time.  They are streaming it - check out the link above if interested - and it is amazing!  It has a bunch of songs on it that I've already heard, but whatever...the new songs are completely worth it.  Life will be complete when I can finally purchase/download/burn this record and this band finally comes somewhere near me so I can see them play live!  Ah!!

It meant the world to hold a bruising faith...but now it's just a matter of grace

Kelly and Dan's wedding was very nice - and very fun!  A big CONGRATS to my dear friends, once again!  I was so honored to be a part of it!  Here's a photo featuring Amy, Kelly, myself, and Tiff during the wedding dance:

Don't I just look adorable in pink??  Oh yeah, and the bride looks pretty, too, huh? 

And the people that you meet want to open you up like Christmas

So again I apologize for not updating until now.  To update, briefly:

1. I am now teaching again.  Session 2 began Monday, so now I will be teaching for 1 hour and 20 minutes five days a week starting at 8:40 AM.  So fucking early.  It sucks.  Really...it does.  Things seem to be going smoothly so far, though.

2. I took the midterm in my Linear Algebra class last Thursday.  I rocked it, more or less!  Good thing.  Our instructor for that course has now changed, and we now have a dipshit teaching it.  He's the worst teacher I could possibly imagine.  Just horrible, horrible!  I can't express it enough.  I now fear that I will learn nothing the rest of the semester and fail my qualifier simply because of this.  ...grumble, grumble... 

3. This past weekend was fun.  Andrew's birthday was last Wednesday, so he had a party on Friday.  Good times!  Morgan did manage to throw my keys on the roof of the building, but they were easily retrieved.  On Saturday, Morgan, Andrew, Eric, and I headed down to Des Moines. Very good times were had. 

4. Lastly, and most important of all...my dearest friend Kelly is getting married this weekend!!!  I head back to Pipestone Friday with the wedding on Saturday.  I'm VERY much looking forward to it!!!  All the best, Kel - don't trip walking down the aisle!!  The dance should be a fucking blast!    My brother is also going to be home for a week, so I will get to see him briefly this weekend.  Briefly is better than nothing, I guess!

Now that I'm so sad and not quite right, I could dance all night
