new week
I'm sitting huddled in a corner in the library fiendishly surfacing the net and reading blogs before my 9.30 class. I'm trying to avoid starting the new week by pretending it's not there. It's not that I'm really dreading it. It's more like I would have rather faced it with a couple extra hours of sleep this morning. I shouldn't complain really. It is the last week of classes. A week from Friday I have an exam. But I was summoned for jury duty, so I think I'll ask the prof if I can take the exam early. I didn't want to wait until Friday, anyway, so the state of Louisiana has given me a handy excuse. Tomorrow I'm going to the downtown mall to apply for a holiday job. Chris is hopefully going to go back to Banana Republic for the holidays. It looks more and more likely that we will be spending the holidays chez nous instead of trucking up to the northeast to get our yearly dose of family and American civilization. I do love New Orleans at Christmas, but Philadelphia feels more like "real life." It's the Northeast...the pulse of America...without the hugeness of New York. Maybe by the time I finish my dissertation, New Orleans will feel more like "real life."
Thanksgiving has been a blast. I'll give a report, recipes included, when I feel a little more peppy.
Better go to class.
