hey bitches

I've been thinking about this a lot; whether I should continue this blog or not. I've devoted the past few months to a much-less-personal & much-more-hobby-focused blog about cupcakes cupcakesbymandy.blogspot.com. Even though I stopped writing on here, I couldn't bring myself to delete it. After much consideration I am going to start posting much more actively on here once again. So you dear readers probably deserve an update about what's been a-happenin' in my life:

• I "graduated" from RIT for my Master's. Now I must note I cannot actually put a "M.S." after my name. Why? Because I still have to write my thesis and defend it. ugh. There will probably be a lot of bitching & moaning discussion about this to come in an effort to psych myself up for it. (Seriously what program gives you 7 (?!) years to complete the degree? ) It's not like I'm getting my Ph.D. here. But on the bright side I no longer have to commute to Rochester for classes 2-3 times a week! On the darker side I now have to pay my parents rent because I'm done with classes for good. Eww.
• I've become obsessed with #whatshouldwecallme. I'm actually kinda pissed I never thought of this before because that website is seriously my life. 
• I will be co-hosting a vlog! Eek! Tomorrow is our first show and I'm slighting freaking out. So if you're curious as to what I sound/look like head on over to fingerlakes1.com and give it a view.
• Over the course of 3 months I ran five 5Ks! ahhhh! big deal people, no, HUGE deal. But right now something is wrong with my left foot. It happened this past weekend around the 2 mile mark, when something felt very wrong with my foot, but being the trooper that I am (lie: I had no choice really) I finished strong and even shaved a minute off my last 5K! More to come on these runs.
• I am about to go visit a new born baby and his mama, and therefore need to cut this short.
