Happy New Year Everyone!
I've been away for a while, but it's for a worthy cause. My second semester of grad school started off on a good foot last Tuesday. Prior to that, I spent nearly an entire month relaxing with family and friends at home in Maryland. What a great break it was! It was exactly what I needed to rejuvenate myself after getting knocked down to the ground so hard in what I would call my first semester of graduate school. I worked hard and didn't settle with defeat. In the end, my vacay was well deserved.
