As usual, I'm back from a 4 month hiatus that spanned the entire fall semester but did you really expect anything less? I'm not even going to lie and say that it's a New Years Resolution to update this blog - its more a blog of convenience, a "it's almost the end of the day and I don't feel like working anymore but need to appear busy" tool.
Another year over and with it my 6th fall semester at Duke. Things went well with classes as well as research, with the latter being the more important of the two. Campout 2008 was in a new location and it was great!!! The football team won more games this year under Coach Cut than I'd seen them win from 2004-2007 combined. The basketball team is off to a great start and is currently #2 in the nation and leading the ACC top 5 tandem that includes UNC and Wake Forest. Other news from the fall semester that I didn't have a chance to write about but needs mentioning:
Year 5 of Dance Slam
Duderville 2007 - TO THE FACE!

That just about covers it. It's not exactly inciteful, witty, or well worthwhile but at least it's an update on life.
