After one of my most enjoyable Anthrocons ever, I returned home from Pittsburgh at about 2AM on Tuesday morning. I was thrilled to see so many friends and I kept bumping into familiar faces! There are too many to name and I'd feel horrible if I started listing names and then left someone out, so I will just say a big thank you to everyone for making the weekend as special as it was. I really was quite happy the whole time! :)

Now that the con is over, I am turning my attention to moving and getting set up to return to school in August. I am moving to my new apartment before the end of July, which should make my life FAR more comfortable and less stressful on a day to day basis. My classes get rolling on August 25th, and I am mostly set for those; I'm still working out details on financial aid and scholarship money, but everything is coming together.

Thank you, everyone, for your support and encouraging words. It has been a very rough time for me since the end of 2011, but I think I am finally pulling out of it. I am concerned about shaky finances going forward (the new apartment is no cheaper than my current one and I have no roommates), but I will find a way to bring it all under control.

Onward and upward.
