day twelve: look at this, people read this blog!

received a few mails today noting that several people are actually reading this bit of writing...amazing. good, good, good.

the latest here: well, first of all, I love being a grad student. I'd even go as far as to say that I <3 being a grad student. it's the best. your own schedule (aside from lectures and seminars) and tons of interesting reading to do. mind you, this is only my first week as an official 'grad student,' so the tons of reading part might become a bit wearing. and I haven't gotten to the 'holy shit, I have three 20-page papers due tomorrow' stage, but I'm telling you people, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. go to the library, drink coffee, live sparsely, and ruminate, ruminate, ruminate.

tonight is my last night in the hostel (yippee!) so, after class tomorrow, I'll move into the new space, with the help of kate and em. yes, this means no more flipflops to the shower, no more smelly smelly room, no more rolling clothes up to put them back into the suitcase. it's a whole new day from here on out peeps.

oh, also, ran about regent's park for two hours today. yes, the marathon, even though I've moved continents, is still going to happen...and in only four weeks!

love to all.
