In the thick of things:

Hello dear readers. Thank you for being patient while I get myself adjusted to my new schedule and classes. Also, I have been putting off writing a post until I was certain as to the status of Jane and John Godley. Sadly, I have not seen them, and classes have been back in session for nearly three weeks now. They aren't in any of my classes, and I have yet to identify suitable replacements for them. Actually, most of my classmates in all of my classes seem pretty cool. Dammit. Who will I pick on now?! It would seem as though all the airheads and dodo birds have graduated and/or left. Or, perhaps I'm just becoming more tolerant of, or resigned to, their presence. Maybe I'm numb or oblivious. Maybe I just don't give a shit anymore. I have more important things to worry about just now.

I will be swamped this semester. I'm working on my big integrative paper (instead of a thesis, but serves the same purpose...i.e. getting me out of here), I have lots of reading and lots of papers and/or projects in all my other classes, I will soon begin applying to Masters in Library Science programs, I am working in the Rare Books Library on campus, and, idiot/masochist that I am, I may be accepting a position as a research assistant to one of the seminary professors this Friday. I suppose I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Check back for my big anniversary special on the 26th! Or, maybe the 27th...or 28th...
