This is hot off the presses. I just finished up my first prelim exam. I think it was ok, but I want to refrain from making any predictions until I find out my results in around three weeks. I am definitely nervous, but am very glad that it is out of the way. This has definitely been one of the most stressful times in my school career. It has basically killed my appetite and along with my poor habit of not eating while studying, I have noticed that I am now about my weight I was coming into undergrad, and for those not in the know, that is not a good thing. Luckily for me and my short and long run health, I will be home soon which should help me gain some weight back, especially when I start running again.

In other news, after my exam I called my sister and had talked with my niece and my heart absolutely sunk when she told me that she had her best birthday party ever. Not about the best birthday without me, but rather the fact that I completely forgot about her birthday. I felt like one of the worst people on Earth when I can't even remember my friends and families' birthdays.

Well, I have my quantitative exam next Monday so in just about 7 days from this post, I will hopefully be done for a couple months. Wish me well. Thanks to everyone who has supported me since a time further than I can remember. I feel horrible that I have basically been ignoring everyone these past few months. Take care and hopefully I will see everyone soon.
