Abject Apologies

As usual, it has been far too long since I've posted. Though I did just reread my last Cosmo post and I have to say, I LOLed. Oh, Cosmo. What a gem.

Sadly, my subscription to Cosmo is about to lapse, and though I enjoy Cosmo's tips and tricks, being witty blog post fodder is not a justifiable reason for spending $15 to renew. When I first subscribed, I paid $5 for a year's worth of issues, which calculates to approximately 42 cents an issue. That's a price I'm willing to pay. So, ball's in your court, Cosmo. Make me a sweeter offer.

Anyway, back to the apologizing. The end of the semester brought a lot of busyness and stress (surprise, surprise). Here is a list of my excuses for my lackluster posting record. I could not blog because I had to:

• Take the GRE and the MTELs
• Drive to Maryland for Thanksgiving
• Have my car's alternator replaced
• Write a 15-page final paper and a lesson plan
• Sit for the second of three MA comp exams
• Grade 15 portfolios
• Help Matt move out of the apartment
• Spend Christmas in Connecticut
• Fly to Maryland to have Christmas with my family
• Rearrange the surprisingly empty-feeling apartment

That's enough, right? I'm forgiven? I hope so. One of my New Year's resolutions is to post more frequently. Wish me luck!
