Yep. I'm back in NOLA for the summer II session. Five weeks of philosophy and biochemistry. Woopah! Philosophy is actually interesting, it's rapidly becoming one of my favorite subjects. I wish I had more time to take classes and explore *sigh* but I don't...Such is life I guess. I'm working with the HH children, which basically involves me ( Read more... )
