A long overdue update

Well I'm long overdue for an update. Life has been busy busy over the past two months. I guess we'll start with first things first:

1. I'm getting married! His name is Nathan. The date is set for August 7th. I'm a very happy girl:)


2. I'm managing to survive my second semester at grad school which is definitely MUCH harder than the first. Plus I've decided on a permanent adviser and thereby a research focus as well: poverty, social inequalities and academic achievement. I'm happy to have found something I feel passionate enough about that I might actually be able to make it through another 4 years of grad school!

3. I'm going to my first research conference this week in Denver. I'm kind of excited to sit in on lectures for a couple of days...(nerd!)

Ummmm... I'm sure more has happened since I last blogged, but I think that's as good of a catch up as I'm going to be able to muster at the moment:)
