SA! Welcome back to the USA! How are you doing?

Thanks! I'm good, save for bronchitis and having to go to class. But that seems to be baseline normal these days. How are you? How are the studies going?

I'm just at the end of a bad cold or a very light flu, so I'm not so fun right now (and I'm croaking when I try to speak). And, um, that affects the studies, of course, and not in the best of ways.

How is your schedule going? I'm not asking anything about after-college, because you're probably tired of that, but when is your last semester?

Ooh, you're me. Sorry, honey.

My schedule is...going. Right now I'm in the Sort of Bad Place where everything I do feels like a facsimile of a real life, and I'm tired of working from the primer for having a life, you know? I want to actually live, instead of filling my time with, well, filler stuff. I go here, and here, and it makes my day full, but it all seems rather pointless.

This is my last semester, though, for which I'm grateful: I'm counting down the days to graduation, May 21. And I did figure out what I want to do after college, which is BUNAC, a work visa program that will take me to Britain and Ireland for eight months. Of course, I haven't figured out how to pay for it...

Why sorry? Does it mean I get the lovely hair and the visiting-places-all-over-the-world, too?

Oh, and lots of luck with having a good ending for the semester and the whole college experience. The after-graduation program looks great, too! I hope you do find a way to make it work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Timelies, everyone.

I have no classes today! Which means I get to wake up at a reasonable hour, and don't actually have to have any level of higher thinking skills before about 12. (Generally I teach at 8 on Mondays.)

Somebody send me some motivation, stat. I could really stand to do some house-cleaning, but I'm gronking instead.

No fair! They cancelled college for you?

Heh. This morning I got an email from my boss saying he wasn't coming in today, and even though I'd already made the coffee I was thinking, "this means fifteen more minutes in the bed! Yay!"

Yep. Presidents Day.

That BUNAC program looks really great, SA. Now I'm starting to ponder it for during the summer...

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Jon!
