It's fall break, and do I ever need this time to work. I'm working on a modernism paper which is going slow at the moment, and other stuff looms in the distance, to say nothing of regular assignments. Groan. I often wonder if I'm actually grad school material.

Anyway. I made it out of my apartment tonight to a local bar, apparently a landmark, to see an artist of whom I'd never heard, perform. It was fun, and it got me away from my work. The group of us (first-years) sat in the pews near the stage (yes, actual pews!), all the tables being taken. I discovered that a fellow student is also a Dwight Yoakam fan, and that may just have to come to blows.

Reading material for this weekend is thankfully nineteenth-century-free, thanks to fall break, but it does involve Ulysses.

Further bulletins as events warrant. Or, perhaps I should say, we'll hold another press conference when more information is available (must . . . turn . . . off . . CNN).
