It’s been way too long since I’ve written a real post here. Since before the new year, I was busy preparing grad school applications, writing essay after essay after essay, and every time I’d sit down to blog, I felt a twinge of guilt for not spending that creative energy on my applications. Then there was January 12th. What you’d think would have given me more reason than ever to blog actually left me too busy to blog.
But now, hopefully, my moment of inactivity has passed and I can return to making regular contributions to this blog. I hope to be back soon!
