school is good, bad, overstimulating, lots of things. i'm supposed to be reviewing 4 manuscripts for workshopping for tomorrow right now. i have to re-read for a class too. but i wanted to say hello and mention that things are a mixture and my emotions are changing all the time. overall, i'm glad to be here and i'm getting a lot out of the experience.
my advisor told me that my work reminds him of lisa shea's, so as soon as i can i'm going to read the book (pictured here). more to come.

oh, and the food is yummy. people keep asking me about that. i guess my standards aren't very high.
off to buckle down with some old fashioned manuscripts.
