Back to School

Well well well well well.

I even remember my password.

I had a lovely summer, thank you for asking. It was full of days spent at home, quilting and knitting and working my way through cookbooks from the public library.

Some things were difficult (I’m ready for 2011 to be over), but there was a lot of this sort of thing:

and a little of this…

and this:

I attended two friends’ weddings and cried both times.

I remembered that I used to like to read for fun, and I’ve been tearing through books at what I think is a remarkable rate.

I didn’t have much interest in writing, and it was nice to take the time off, although I felt bad for not explaining it. I thought I’d come back when the school year was back and I needed more space to be myself, but to tell the truth, I’m not sure how that will work out.

You see, between papers, proposals, and applications, I’m writing the equivalent of a thesis chapter…before mid-October. While I have a TAship. And finish up two summer RAships.

My “in progress” file on my computer looks like this, with urgency coded from red to green (blue means I’m waiting for other people to do something).

So, you see, I can’t really promise you anything in the way of interesting writing. Complaining, yes– but those aren’t really the same thing.
