Well, November finally hit Waco. Walking a half-mile to school in freezing rain really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
After our last Bibliography and Research class last night, several of us students had a mini-party, which was well-deserved in my opinion. Sangria, chips and salsa, and good conversation. And I’m totally [...]

I’ve been sort of down on and off for days, not just worrying about papers due and such, but whether I’m even in the right place. I was so frustrated this afternoon (in the moments leading up to the class wherein I had to present on Sir Thomas Browne–see previous entry) that as my [...]

So I’m trying to write a curriculum vitae as an assignment for one of my classes…a task that shouldn’t be difficult because I haven’t done anything.
