The next chapter

Starting in the fall, I’ll officially be a PhD student!

On Friday, I took a trip down to scenic New Brunswick, New Jersey to visit the Linguistics Department at Rutgers.

Yay, I am so excited about us being so near each other next year. MAYBE THEN I COULD ACTUALLY SEE YOU SOMETIME EVER. When are you moving down there?

Yay for you! Congrats and such! You need to make regular pilgrimiges to Boston, though, otherwise I may need to send powerful ninjas to kidnap you when you least expect it.
