Welcome to My World

This blog was originally titled Neurotic Grad Student because, um, I was a neurotic grad student. But somewhere along the line, I stopped being a grad student and the name of my blog began to grate on me. Every time I updated or commented on someone else's blog, the name seemed to mock me. You fail, it said. You are not a good neurotic grad student.

So I changed my screen name to NGS and changed the blog name to The Time for Change.

Life is about change, right? I feel like every year my personal life undergoes some massive reorganization and that's what the blog title is about. I've been writing here since September 2004 which makes my blog the old grey-haired woman with a cane hobbling about the interwebs. It's a chronicle of my life as a single girl stressed out over roommate problems to a stressed out grad school failure to an engaged girl with no end of devotion and grossness about her darling fiance to a newly married woman who is still moderately disgusting over that man.

We're going to be undergoing massive changes again soon. Dr. BB is on the academic job market and chances are pretty good we'll be moving soon. Moving away from this city that we love, this city where we met and fell in love walking around Lake of the Isles. But this, too, is a time of change. I might now always embrace change, but it is life.

And that's how we got here.
