the swing of the things

i have been gone from my blog for far too long! i think i have some pretty good excuses though.

excuse #1: school started

excuse #2: i'm teaching every night

excuse #3: house/dog sitting for some friends

excuse #4: nothing too interesting has been happening

they're good, right? maybe i'm not cut out for the whole blogging thing; i'm definitely not going to make it a full time job.

school started last week and though i'm only taking about 14 credits, it still feels like a lot. it helps that one of them is a graduate course and the other two big ones are gen eds that require way too much work. not only that but with the addition of a few more students to my personal little studio, i manage to keep busy during the day and at night. i have about 16 students now? something around that number. it's all fun though, except for the school part. 

i've been watching this handsome fella...

poor quality, i'm sorry.

for the past half week and it's been pretty delightful.

i can count on him to wake me up every morning from around 7:30 - 8. except i won this morning and woke up before him. i think he was kind of confused by it.

just gettin' back into the swing of things. here's to hoping it won't be too long before i post again.
