Yeah, I'm still here. I know I keep saying that. My life just does not allow much time for blogging right now, mainly because by the time I finish with my work at night, the last thing I want to do is sit here typing on the computer for any minute longer than I have to.
But it is October now, and that makes me happy. I woke up this morning and the sky was different. And there was something new in the air when I went outside. This is a good thing.
My Fulbright application is finished now, for the moment, until the campus review board looks at it and tells me I need to change everything. I am still knee-deep in paperwork for all of my classes, and I fear that it will stay this way from here on out for this semester. Which is sad. I have already in the last week worried Gamer Guy into his first migraine. Twenty three years old, never had one in his life, and he had one last week with me. I remember migraines. I saw that same ache on his face. I felt very guilty, and put him in bed in my room and took care of him through the afternoon.
But, I just got the email from German Professor tonight, and it looks like I am going to get to go to Berlin during the winter term and get three hours of German credit working on Berlin in the context of film history. WOOT! This was an amazing feat of endurance on GP's part, mainly because it was the Modern Language department head that needed so much convincing. And now it is going to happen, it seems, for I am to fill out paperwork tomorrow morning. WOOT!
And that's basically all I can say at the moment. This Thursday is the start of fall break, and I will be traveling with part of my Hemingway & Faulkner class to Oak Park and Chicago, Il, to come back late Friday night. This should be entertaining, but we are getting to spend an entire afternoon at the art museum there on top of our Hemingway activities, so I should be quite contented.
