Seriously? It's been over two years since I've posted here? I'm pathetic. Or, as my Moroccan student would say, "I'm suck." I tried to explain to him that, in order to be grammatically correct, he should say, "I suck." But then I realized that I really shouldn't be encouraging him to use inappropriate language (or to be self-deprecating, for that ( Read more... )

I'm taking a break from listening to a lecture to update. I haven't written in a while, and even though I'm enjoying Quentin Skinner's lecture on Milton's ideas regarding freedom, I'm having a hard time with my attention span (it's about an hour long ( Read more... )

I've only been in class for three nights, and already I've got more homework than I know what to do with. But it's incredible to be back; I don't know why I love school as much as I do, but I do ( Read more... )

Worst attention span EVER tonight. I read a paragraph and a half of Freud, then start looking around for something else to do. Not good. Not good at all ( Read more... )

Have you ever been unaware of how much you'd missed something until you had it again? I took my first dance class in about three years tonight, and I feel so fantastic, so blissfully contented, that I'm on the verge of breaking into tears.

One semester down, two to go. Then I'm Kelly Sessions, M.A. Anyway. I got a 4.0! For my first semester, at least. Let's hope I can keep it up once I'm taking an extra class, which I will be for the next two semesters in order to graduate early ( Read more... )

I'm done!!! I'm finally finished with my first semester of graduate study. (I e-mailed my last paper to my professor a little while ago ( Read more... )

I miss Nick. It's only been a little over a week since I've seen him, but it feels like it's been so much longer. I had my cryosurgery on Thursday (what fun!) and spent all weekend at home while he was at home in the Poconos working. (Mom and Ed came to visit yesterday, which was fabulous, since I'd started to go crazy with lack of interaction ( Read more... )

Okay. So. I'm delaying my venture into the outdoors because it's been raining all day and the puddles are up to my ankles in some places and my feet have only just dried from being outside this afternoon. I've gotta go grocery shopping in a little while, but I'll type this up first ( Read more... )

So. Life is busy lately, which is good. I was hoping that I wouldn't have sooo much down time that I felt increasingly lonely, and thank God it hasn't really been that way. Sure, I miss everyone. Immensely. But I don't dwell on it as much as I thought I might because there's always something to get done ( Read more... )
