All I did this weekend is study. All I am going to do the next three weeks is study, work, eat, sleep, study and study. I am in exile. To all my friends: if I don't call you, don't think I've fallen off the face of the earth or hate you. I'm studying. I will reemerge Oct. 3.

BTW-- I got asked to be a bridesmaid AGAIN!!! Yup, one more time. That's three next summer, all within a month. No joke. I'm going to start a "Bridesmaid" fund. Contributions welcome.
