Long-awaited-ness…
It’s finally October! I love October… It’s the quintessential fall month.
Also, updates:
- I finally put more pictures up on Facebook. I’ll probably put a few on here too.
- My family came to visit last weekend! We went to the Museum of Surgical Science (very interesting, but often gross), this FANTASTIC fondue place (my new love), the Art Institute (because my sister had never been), and Portillo’s (to get greasy delicious-ness). Overall, a fabulous weekend that ended too soon.
- My research is going pretty well. We turned in our outlines and annotated bibliographies last week and we get them back tomorrow. *Fingers crossed* I do well.
- The first five weeks of the seminar are over, so now we only meet for class on Wednesday afternoons. I still have work 8-9 hours a week and a weekly meeting with my writing group, but needless to say a lot of my time has become very unstructured. Luckily, I’m pretty disciplined and have been going to the library very regularly. But I know it will definitely be weird when I’m at Beloit again in January and I have to go to class all the time. Haha.
- My job is still pretty cool. Lately I have been proofreading translations of German newspapers from the early twentieth century. It’s pretty interesting stuff…
Not much else to report. Busy, busy workin’ all the time.
