Life as I know it...

I'll just be brief today. I finally got around to getting a new student ID card (my old one mysteriously disappeared this summer...it'll probably show up now that I've paid for a new one). This one is nice, though. They have changed the layout, and I finally have my married name on my student ID instead of my maiden name. Also, it shows that I'm a "grad student"...oooohhhh...the status! I am also now officially a contracted employee of the university, so they noted that on the new card, too, although I am not allowed to get a staff ID card along with a student ID card. I had to choose one or the other. And, it was either sacrifice my grad student library priveleges or else sacrifice my bookstore discount. I chose to keep my library priveleges, since my classes often force me to make use of them. Guess I can't have my cake and eat it, too. :)

So, back to the new student ID card. Because I have one again, I can make more use of the student computer labs (which is where I am now), and might actually get to update things online a little more often, if I use my time wisely. While I should still technically be doing homework right now, I chose to spend a little more time here. Maybe next time I'll even get around to posting some pictures from my summer adventures. We'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, here's hoping!
