Slaying the Beast

So tell me if this sounds familiar:

goal: build up my online portfolio.
how I'll do it: maintain a regular blogging schedule (this, too, I'll write more about soon)

Yeah, not so much. Instead, the past 6 months of my life have been swallowed up by a ravenous beast known as "graduate school," that has grown more and more aggressive in the past 3 or 4 weeks. I dealt it a mortal blow when I passed my defense on Monday the 19th, but it limped along for a while, whispering to me of Target Audiences, Proper Whitespacing, and Nested Bookmarks. Today, I think it finally gasped its last breath, but I have to wait until tomorrow for the official word from the graduate reviewercoroner.

So, this is me saying "I'm back." I have a half-dozen half-finished posts in draft, way more free time than I'm used to, and a lot to catch up on.

See you soon.
