a lovely morning in londres...

sunday morning, the day is lovely, it's not one bit chilly, and, surprise, surprise, the SUN is actually out! ah...

I'm in the library. yes, yes, all of you at vassar will remember how we bemoaned the endless hours of sunday that we spent in the library when all we really wanted to do was frolick outside. while there is a twinge of that in me right now (spitalfields market, columbia road flower market, are you calling my name???), there is also a bit of peace that I take in being in a library and working on a paper that, for the moment, allows me to channel all of my energy into one thing. it does get a bit soul sucking at times, but I haven't gotten totally immersed in it all, so I think that it is okay.

spring term starts tomorrow and I know that I've got loads coming up...but I'm also excited. just thinking that after two more months of classes, oodles more papers, and a dissertation and I'll have a M.A. is pretty great. what to do with that little degree, that is the question.

hope this finds you all well. updates, please! (oh, and resolution two is to appreciate my friends in a more proactive fashion, so heads up for some emails.)

love to all.
