Just came back from a lovely and very late lunch with Will Johnson, Blaine, and his wife, Rosillo (Rosío?). We went to Taqueria El Azteca on Spring Garden (where they have Horchata, Kym!) and I got to practice my Spanish because we talked in Spanish and English. It was a lot of fun to oil up the rusty Español with comfortable, laid-back people, ( Read more... )

Well, all I have left is one more paper. I've got three out of 12-15 pages, so I need at least 9 more. Strangely, I am unworried about this.

Whew! Today I finally managed to turn in the killer Eric Mortensen paper that has been consuming my LIFE for the last week or two. Seriously, on Saturday I had a dream about footnotes. You KNOW that's not good ( Read more... )

Well, the week has been hellish in several ways, but now things are looking up. The 20-page paper is getting closer to being done (although technically it was due Thursday at 2:30), and (having gotten permission) I should be able to use a reasonable amount of it in my IDS paper, due Monday. Sweet ( Read more... )

First, let me say that reading everybody's Thanksgiving entries the other day really made me feel better about things. Everyone was so happy and optimistic and grateful. So thanks you guys for being there, for being hopeful, and for being fun ( Read more... )
