Strange to say, a typical weekend.



I went to the cider celebration last night, an annual Christmas concert here on campus. It was superb. I can't believe the sounds the human voice can make when it's used right. My roommate was in the choir, and everyone looked a lot prettier than the picture would have it.

Today I went to the RA group interview meeting, which involved the better part of the morning. Then, I finished my professor's manuscript for the second time. I spent this entire week trying to achieve a satisfactory knowledge of the Chicago Manual of Style (quick—what's the difference between a hyphen, an en dash, and an em dash? I didn't know either until this week) so that the publisher will accept it. Here's hoping.

Afterward, to decompress, and try to warm up—it's cold here!—I rode my bike out along where I usually run, down through the naval base. Since it rained yesterday, it was windy and clear and brilliant.
