First off, I have to apologize for not being able to post.  I just moved to our nation’s capital for Grad School.  Hopefully you will be getting many DC/East coast related posts.  This is a short post (more will come later) but it goes out to all of those students who are starting classes and getting that angsty/excited feeling about school.  A little AC and a little K-West for ya… enjoy!
