I haven't really posted an update about what's going down these days in a while, so here's a random update from Anna.

Academically, things are intense but rewarding. Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed, but it helps when I remember to approach the week as a week rather than a series of isolated days. In theory I've always done this, but I've ( Read more... )

There is a corner of the archicture building where hardly anyone goes. There's a door nearby -- it is the side door right across from the parking garage -- and somehow spring comes early to the gardens around that door.

"She is young, and sweet as all young things are, tender in her own way, soft and yielding when she chooses, playful and winsome. She is a puppy or a fawn, she is coltish and kittenish, she's a vixen, an eaglet, a lion's cub ( Read more... )
