I love the break between semesters so much. I always end of being almost as busy as I am during the semester, because I get bored if I sit around the house for a month, but I'm busy doing stuff that I want to do. I also take a perverse amount of pleasure in reading the books that I want to read -- much as I love the stuff I read for my major, a ( Read more... )

So tired. So much left to do.

I'm working on a folklore project due Tuesday, and have been doing so for most of this past weekend. Right now, I'm using an example of legend from my time at as a tour guide at the Winchester Mystery House. I also suspect that I may be getting a bit punch-drunk after beating my head into this thing all weekend (and for much of the past month ( Read more... )

Obama won. I sat at work, refreshing the page every few minutes to see the results. A friend texted me the news while I rode BART home. I was, and am, overjoyed. Don't get me wrong ( Read more... )
