As some may know, my dad was in town for a visit over this past weekend. As a result, I haven't been able to post with an adequate frequency, until now. Here's the update:
As of today, I am officially registered for classes at Harvard University. I begin class on September 19th, and I will be taking "A survey of publishing: from text to hypertext," and "History of Jazz: 1900 - 1945." These are both writing-intensive classes, so I am definitely excited to get back to some more serious academic writing.
In the meantime, I continue to work almost constantly. At about 55 hours per week, work is definitely a drag. But things are looking up. I just bottled the latest batch of beer yesterday, which brings my total to 107 bottles of beer on the wall (or rather, 107 bottles of beer in cases in the botton of my closet.) In about a week, my best batch yet will be ready for consumption.
Reading the news, I was struck by this odd little quote from a BBC article on the obesity problem in America: "
"It really is time that we got our finger out and started making real changes." more here. I'm not sure where they had their fingers before, but I can take a guess. At the very least, we can only hope it wasn't a
UFIA.
I am signing a lease today for the next year at my apartment in Somerville. It seems odd to say, especially since I wasn't sure when I moved if I was going to stay around after August. As it turned out, I met some really great people with whom I enjoy living and spending time. Plus I still have my job at the Joshua Tree/Sauce, so I figured, "why not?" To all those still living in Ohio, I send my condolences. I may some day return to the buckeye state, but not for at least another year or two, or however long it takes to finish at Harvard.
More photos and a longer post coming shortly - as soon as I can get home to upload.
