Spring semester has started. We’re all immersed in the ritual of change and totally committed to that descent into madness to the relentless drabness, the flatness, the blandness for the hours, days and weeks of study and a bone-deep fatigue that’s actually funny We’ll live at the edge of intensity near the the corner of drudging and gather around the printer at the media center like a secular rite of passage I think I need a daily grind—to keep my mind busy. What’s wrong with me, that when I’m on vacation, I miss it? What if work/study is one of my bone-marrow-deep love languages? . .

Awa, love your photo's naise, this is a good place to post them as keepsakes for future reminiscing, time flies here. I recall reading on “September” "I have a couple of ‘research for credit’ classes this semester and I’m spending a lot of time with my TAs. Teaching Assistants (grad students) are essentially approachable professors with longer office hours" You are Sooo busy!

I'm not the only one (busy), we all are, it's an epidemic of busy. You do what you have to do (it's school), then what you want to do and then things to support your friends who are doing things. You were probably the same. =]

Maybe it's that twinkle in your eye ... It has quite a grip on me.

I once pleasured a girl in the library in Jr. High. She told EVERYONE and we both got expelled. You look hungry and open for suggestions.

Yes, a boyfriend is a necessity. Now it's critical (for you) to just not tell everyone. =]

A little madness in life is required. "I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane."- Waylon Jennings
