I thought I'd take a moment to update, as it's been such a long time.
There are reasons for this update. But the only really honest one: I'm procrastinating and not quite ready for bed (though much too sleepy to do anything productive).
So, here goes. The window's open, letting in a great breeze. Spring has arrived here in Minnesota. And, as the weather here has made me so greatly appreciate the seasons, the changes, that were never so marked at home... I can hardly bring myself to be anywhere but outdoors. S and I walked all around campus after our class today, not giving in and going home until well after dark. We were talking about so many things -- a little bit of theory, and trying to grapple with our sanity as silly English graduate students. It's a wonder we have any friends :) but fortunately, there are plenty of nerds out there like us.
It's hard to write in a blog. Even if it's basically for an audience of none (my apologies if you're actually reading this!). Here I am, teaching writing to freshmen, and attempting to write seminar papers and start a dissertation... and the form of the blog baffles me.
But if this past is any indication, it would seem I'll find a way to ramble with needless verbiage....
I think it best that I at least try to get back into the habit. Good night.
