Se mo laoch, mo Ghile Mear
I had my first day of classes today: there're only seven other people in my Intro to Literary Studies class which is very good; Environmental Science will be a lot of fun because the prof. is a character, very intense; The American Experience will be great because Prof. Farrall is basically exactly what a professor should be.
My two other ones will be tomorrow.
My holiday was very nice; very relaxing. Did some reading. Of particular note is that Molly and I saw The Chieftains with the Houston Symphony this past Friday; it was really fantastic - the C's especially and then the symphony, and the very impressive stepdancers (as a likely non-Chieftain's fan but Symphony subscriber said in the lobby after the concert, "Boy! I could just watch all that jiggin' any old time"). They played a few familiar songs, and some fun inventive stuff, like "Planxty Mozart".
Anyway, it's very good to be back in Austin. I forgot how much I do appreciate it. Upon simply arriving in the city limits (distinguishable by certain landmarks), I felt better; it might be the trees and their general layout. More later, perhaps!
