Life in the Girls’ Dorm

That which was building for nigh on a year has subsided in part. I took my Comps last Friday. It was intense, but is now over. I feel fairly good about how I did, but we’ll have to wait a while for the results. Following the test Abe and I celebrated by going to dinner and a showing of Simon Pegg’s new movie, Run Fatboy Run. I don’t know if it was the overwhelming emotion of the day, but that movie had a profound affect on me. I laughed (riotously), I cried (nearly), I was pleased (thoroughly).

Saturday we slept in, then jumped in the car and headed to my grandfather’s house for a belated Easter celebration with my family. It was good to see family and get out of the city for a while. We walked around the farm, ran and wrestled with toddlers and Lucy, and had some great conversations about life, the books we are reading, and nothing at all. It was great.

We returned to Chicago late last night and are now back to our respective business/busyness. Today the temperatures are comfortable (hoody weather!) and my spirits are high. It looks like its going to be a productive week.

I feel like I’ve got some decent growth here. I attribute it to the fact that my chest still doth protest any further hair growth, so the hairs have revolted, marched north, and burst forth from my upper lip. Abe hates it. I love it. I’m just wondering how long it will take her before she shaves it off in my sleep.

And, oh yeah, there’s no voting. I don’t care what any of you say. Mustaches are gloriously “in.”

p.s. — if you click on the image to enlarge it, you will see that I have some pretty good nose hair growth as well… and my lip is kinda sweaty…that’s gross…but not the mustache…that’s awesome!
