Things things and more things

I returned three cloth grocery bags full of books to the library this morning. Now that I've done all the research for the thesis proposal, I realized that I'm not actually going to write the thing until summer. I can't justify keeping all the books til then.. but I do feel sorry for the person putting them back in the stacks.

Yesterday Jonathan washed Osher and he was NOT a happy cat. Xander was very concerned for him, saying, "be happy Osher!" When that failed to work, 5 minutes later Xander came back and sternly rebuked him: "stop saying meow!" Jonathan and I fell on the floor.

Classes are going great! But it feels very strange to only be on campus two days a week instead of four or five. It's so nice to work at home when I can... there's nothing like laying on the couch doing reading instead of sitting in an upright chair. I will admit though that I sure get a lot more done in the library.

(Simcha, on the other hand, loves me working at home. Even when I have my laptop on my lap he manages to maximize his comfiness.)

Speaking of laptops, my new-to-me computer is great in every way except for Skyping. It's a little slower than my old Dell, and I can tell the difference in terms of volume control and how often the video skips and stops. But I can't complain... living without that inch-long white stripe in the middle of the screen is truly, truly bliss.

What else? Two days ago when Jonathan and I both wanted dessert we went out for a spontaneous Kroger trip to buy pie. The pie is now gone. It's very sad. I want more pie. :(

That's really about it. Now to get to class...
