So. We meet again... blog.
Its been raining all day. I don't know if this is the case with other people, but I just get really depressed when its rainy and gloomy outside. I was trying to figure out if I get like this when it snows.. but that's different. The weather gradually gets cold and harsh, and its expected - and so whether it affects my mood or not, it doesn't really happen fast enough for it to be noticeable. We've been spoiled with all the great weather this summer, and I've gotten too used to hanging my mood solely on that.. and so that is how I'm going to explain how shitty weather makes me feel.
Writing is just like any other activity that requires some combination of ability and practice. The more you write, the better you get, and the easier it is to sort your thoughts and get it down on paper (or screen). I haven't written anything so personal in a really long time, and so that first paragraph was terribly painful to write.. but I think I've gotten over my writers block now.
So much has changed since I last kept up with this blog (like March, 2011). I'm well into my PhD and I'm getting some important results, and I co-founded another company (a high tech one!!!) and somehow everything is just going so well so far. I feel so blessed, and I actively try to be thankful all the time. But.. it hasn't actually all been so rosy. No one really knows this (woah), but I had to deal with some personal issues and even almost got kicked out of my PhD program as late as a few months ago. I don't think its appropriate to, nor am I sure I even want to discuss them on here (lol), but I do feel like I need some sort of emotional and/or intellectual outlet that has nothing to do with rabbit brains or gyms. So that will be the temporary purpose of this, and I'll write a post whenever I can find time/feel the need to write something.
