swimming in work, not water (although I could...)

It is payday. And there was much rejoicing, even though I'd rather not lose as much money as I do to withholdings. At least I should get a pretty good tax refund next spring...

I suspect that postings this fall may be infrequent, although it's worth checking back for every now and then. 9 credits of grad school (which aren't actually all that reading-intensive, at least not for a former English major...more project-intensive), a 20 hour/week research job, a 2 hour/week tutoring job for a 5th grade Korean girl, and occasional social things to keep myself from going absolutely batty don't leave a lot of time or energy for blogging. Still, we'll see.

I can't believe how much it's rained the past few days...if this is what Ike does to Michigan, I'd hate to see what it's like down South. Wow. The Red Cedar River is supposed to hit 9 feet by Wednesday, with flood stage at 7 feet.
