that whole posting-whilst-in-grad-school thing doesn't seem to be working very well. it's okay, since when i'm not in class i'm grading homework for eighteen children, or catching up on the piles of reading i have, or working, or skiing, or suffering through UVA's atrocious basketball season, or rehearsing for this play i've gotten myself into. this spring's experiment: brecht's "mother courage and her children", in which i get to play several brands of soldiers and a peasant. it's going to be pretty awesome, but i won't be sleeping much between now and april. (did i mention that in eleven days - not that i'm counting - i also have to take the language exam required for my master's degree? oh, whee!) i shouldn't really be posting right now anyways, but
greenshade08 is visiting for the weekend and i didn't feel like being productive while she was in the shower/etc. i know i could have used this time to make note cards or something, but i simply couldn't be bothered. meh.
i'm actually having a great semester so far - my classes are quite interesting and i feel myself turning into the good little graduate student they want me to be - but it's just super-busy, is all. keep your collective fingers crossed that i get into the summer program i applied to in vermont, cos if i don't get in i'm vaguely screwed. i might update in another month or so if i feel the need. ;) toodles!
