nope, i'm still here.

but you wouldn't know it from the amount of postage i've given the world in the week past.

to put it lamely, i've been busy...and while there's not a lack of exciting things in the life of the pio, there certainly hasn't been anything that's been post-worthy, so most of my writing has either been of the academic sort or the journaly kind, which i don't really feel like subjecting my reading public to. that would just be boring.

in theory, i really shouldn't even be writing this right now, as i have an art history final that needed to be written three days ago. see? that's how much dedication i have...sacrificing my education for everyone's...um, entertainment?

but fear not, in less than a week, i - amanda elizabeth piotraschke, will be a college graduate and will be using it to do nothing else than to wait tables at the illustrious somerset country club...so that means a.) lots of free time which translates into b.) time to dink around and post more. (andi may or may not also be tranlating to option c.) finally teaching myself italian like i've been trying to do for the past two summers, but that's a different conversation.)

so in the meantime, poodles...sit tight (until roughly thursday) and you know, sending the coolest blond art history grad one knows a lil' something in the mail in honor of her graduation never hurt anyone...
