In honor of a 70˚ day in February, here's a summer salad for you to enjoy.
You know, each semester brings its own feel, always reminiscent of the last, but with its own special twist. It feels stressful every time, with weeks that never seem to end, and days where all you want to do is take a nap right there on your desk (I definitely had at least three such days this past week). But this semester is special, in many ways.
It's special because it's the last time I will probably ever take a full load of courses, in my entire life (weird!). It's special because it's the second semester I'm working at the Global Village Living-Learning Center, and now I've really gotten in the groove and been accepted into the fold, and I have a million cool events planned for my residents and it's crazy and wonderful and fun. It's special because next fall may be completely different and I don't yet know how. It's special because for the first time, I'm starting to really come into my own as a researcher, and I'm starting to submit papers to conferences, and to kind of be a real professional in the field. And it's feels pretty good.
Now enough with this being inside on the computer - Kyle and I are going to go outside and enjoy this beautiful day with a little tasting over at the local winery. How classy of us!
