Literature, literature everywhere.



It rained Monday more than I've ever seen here. By a happy coincidence, it was the first day of finals week, so I stayed inside all morning and enjoyed every moment of it.



I lived in a figurative deluge of words this semester.

The fall semester by the numbers:

200-300 pages of assigned reading every week
129 pages of Cotton Mather edited
25 journalism chapter summary responses
21 British lit essays
14 newspaper articles
13 issues of the paper cover-to-cover edited
12 American lit essays
10 hours indexing a book for the on-campus press
10 philosophy reflection papers
1 philosophy term paper

I can see how the allusion kind of works, especially with finals-burn-out.

Hey thanks. All this studying, you know—talk about having an albatross around your neck...
