Chekhov MacGuffin

Busy. Real life is chewing up all my time, so I don't have good DC-Life balance right now. Best friend had another stroke, so I have been living with him helping deal with the fallout of that. I've also been hopping around trying to build some connections since it is way past time I shipped myself off to graduate school.

Ah, well, that's quite unfortunate. I must say, you're an incredible friend to be helping him, Chek. (: Although it will not help him, I wish he recovers!

Graduate school? What are you going to study there? And that's, what, after bachelor or something? Do you even call it bachelor there?
