The last three times I've seen You-Know-Who, he has kept to himself. Almost like a regular person, observing basic social norms. Who'da thunk? I don't know if the cops got to him, or someone else called him out, or peoples' passive-aggressive avoidance reached critical mass, or what, but in any case I'm pleased with the result. Let's hope it sticks.
My head is exploding from grad school. Today was particularly crazy. Also, I think I accidentally drank too many caffeinated beverages for one day. (Normal breakfast tea, plus a latte because I had some time to kill before a meeting and the coffee shop was right there, plus another tea at seminar, plus a soda at lunch. Oops.) So maybe that's why my head is exploding.
I have to start working on my dissertation proposal. Not the real one, but a little presentation for the other students in my class, to 'practice,' and take other peoples' questions. It's a little weird to be like, "So, basically, I propose to become the world's foremost expert on [topic] and prove to everyone how important it is." But that's basically what I'm saying. Well, that and, "Now please give me $30,000," because I'll be submitting it as a grant, ultimately.
