• I have been in NYC (i.e., home) for the past two weeks and it has been glorious. This included seeing the Van Gogh exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, seeing Christina Ricci in A Midsummer Night's Dream, going to a Feist concert at Radiocity Music Hall (a place I haven't been since I was a wee thing who was impressed by the Rockettes, even ( Read more... )

I totally make myself believe that I'm about to be kicked out of the program every couple of months and then my adviser is surprisingly wonderful (despite having actually kicked a good friend of mine out of the program just last year) and talks me down.

Can I just say--the sky is completely clear, the weather has not been finer in a coon's age, and YET my flight is canceled. There aren't even clouds in the sky and my flight is canceled.Not that being stranded in New Jersey is a bad thing.
