I'm just starting my studies--I got into graduate school this semester; don't think I told you yet. Things were very touch and go for a while before getting into grad school; I had to leave Tucson immediately after relocating there for work, but since I've moved to New England for school they've improved immensely. Right now I have my general thesis topic selected, but am working on some of the specifics as I learn more about my taxa.

Money remains an issue (I'm employed, but underemployed), but I have enough to survive off of and can manage to afford schooling.
