Maybe!  We shall see.<\/p>\n<p>Why did I disappear?  I started a master&#8217;s program and became paranoid that my classmates would look me up and see the real me.  Once I realized my classmates probably didn&#8217;t give two hoots about looking me up and looking into my life, I was so bogged down with homework that the thought of writing for fun didn&#8217;t appeal to me.  I&#8217;ve been writing several scholarly posts each week complete with reference section for the past two years.  It&#8217;s been exhausting, but daily blog writing prepared me well for it.  I&#8217;m in my last class and am currently working on a 50 page research paper.  Seven more weeks and I&#8217;ll be d-o-n-e with a master&#8217;s in strategic leadership.<\/p>\n<p>How about a funny story for old time&#8217;s sake?<\/p>\n<p>I have a new nemesis and her name is Crazy Cat Lady.  She&#8217;s a 68 year old animal hoarding narcissist who hangs out at my gym.  I think she&#8217;s a lesbian because she likes to run her hand along other lady&#8217;s arms and call them princess (and yes, she has done this to me before *shudder*). She&#8217;s hot all the time, so she likes to stand under the fan.  I&#8217;m hot all the time and I like to stand under the fan.  You see where this is going, yes?  Problem is I get to class at least 15 minutes early so I can claim my spot under the fan.  She gets to class at least 15 minutes late and still thinks she can stand under the fan&#8211;the very fan I&#8217;m standing under.  She gives zero f&#8212;ks about personal space. She&#8217;s covered in cat hair and I&#8217;m allergic to cats.  About five minutes after she arrives my throat starts closing up because the animal dander is being blown all over the classroom. We are standing under a high powered fan, after all.  I have told her I&#8217;m allergic and asked her to stay away from me, but she refuses.  She says all the right things, &#8220;Oh yeah, I&#8217;ll move, sorry.&#8221; But she doesn&#8217;t move.  I hates her.  I&#8217;ve rearranged my schedule so I don&#8217;t go to the same classes she goes to, but if I ever have an off week and have to attend a Tues or Fri class, there is is&#8211;just waiting to kill me.  It&#8217;s too bad because I love the Friday teacher, but I love to breathe even more.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s all for today, folks!  Is there anyone still out there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guess who! It&#8217;s been two years since I posted, but I&#8217;m back! Maybe! We shall see.
