Day 1
I survived day one of my comprehensive exam. Now I just have to get through day two...today. -
comps
I start writing my phd comprehensive exams tomorrow morning at 9 (if the snow doesn't close campus). Same again on Saturday. Keep me in your thoughts, prayers, sacrifice small animals to your gods on my behalf...whatever you do to commune with the higher-ups. I'm really not ready so could use any miracle y'all can collectively arrange. -

Random acts of kindness
Last night I went out for drinks with a few acquaintance/friends. When I finished up there I headed to the Cherry Street Artisan to see The Santaland Diaries, being produced by a new theatre company started by people I know.
