While many things have happened in my life during the many, many months since I've said (and done) much of anything here, but I don't think any of it would serve as a sufficient excuse for my general absence. Those that speak to me regularly already know what the deal is, but for the benefit of all the others--

I am a college graduate of nearly two months now. After about two consecutive decades of considering myself a "student" (at least on formal applications, heheh), I've entered a new stage of my life. I've been challenged to market myself in a title of two or three words, to cull the works that best represent me from semesters of experimentation and growth, to strike a balance between self-expression and the direction of my supervisors.

And despite all my regrets and self-deprecation, I'm not sure I'd ever take back any of it and do it over even if I was given the chance. I need a break from being a student! Give me a real job! XD
