Got tagged by the @naryshkin (I really needed a Friday afternoon distraction with two weeks left before my defence, thanks!!!)

Nicknames: sass, sassy, sar, 

Star sign: aries

Height: My Swedish ID says 167 cm but my Canadian says 163 cm soooo I dunno like 165 cm??

Time right now: 13:45

Last thing I googled: "lägga ut bilder"

Favourite music artist: I also love ESC so I have many shiny heart favourites there but I guess my fav outside of that is the Tragically Hip

Song stuck in my head: The Wabuu theme song in Swedish

Last movie I watched: Room

Last TV show I watched: Always Sunny in Philadelphia (I have been marathoning it at work as I prepare for lectures)

What I am wearing right now: white sneakers, grey tights, place dress with white polka dots (I had taken off my “work hoodie” before I started filling this out so I am a little less gross right now.)

When I created my blog: I think I started this in 2010 or 2011 when I was a bit into my masters? 

What kind of stuff I post: Pictures of foxes, star wars/star trek stuff, random meme crap, Eurovision rantings, and mostly grad school rantings. This will document my journey more than Facebook because people are doucheholes on facebook. 

Hogwarts house: I can’t stand hp so I guess I am the shack behind the school. I could rant about why I don’t like it but that would make this quick activity get time consuming and long sooo.

Pokémon team: Gotta go with original Team Rocket here too.

Favourite colour: Red (or it’s best friend pink).

Average hours of sleep: I operate best on 7-8. I am very lazy with two hours more or less. 

Lucky number: 19

Favourite characters: Jedi knights or Star Fleet Captains. Pretty much all of them. 

Dream job: Diplomat would be wicked, but I am also leaning towards something in the book branch - like a proofreader or copy editor. 

tagging (ONLY if you would like to do it): @oni-queen @atthefloodgates @jacquesdemys @spotted-plant @dragonsandstatistics and anyone else who needs to do something to relax on this Friday

What a great four days! I finally got to meet @atthefloodgates as she showed me around Louisville and we caught up. As she said in her own post, it’s amazing how meeting someone you’ve known for 3+ years online can really be more like catching up with an old friend than anything else.

The reason why I was in Louisville was for the American Musicological Society Annual Conference. Not only did I finally get to have the needed heart to heart with my old mentor about where to go from here in terms of finally getting back on the academic track and applying for grad schools, but I got to meet @gracefulflatulence in what seemed like completely random, perfect timing.

I went from thinking I would never meet a Tumblr friend to meeting two in one weekend (one planned, one not). I am leaving this weekend very much refreshed, enlightened, and happy. A much needed shift in the crazy of my current life path!

Thank you atthefloodgates for the ID badges for my newspaper students!  I really appreciate it, and now I have enough to replace our worn out set!
