Life in 10 seconds

Back from a 4-day weekend for homecoming.  So much fun to see friends, camp out, chat with professors, wander around campus enjoying the autumn leaves, and just relax.  Ah. 

Now back to the grind.  Several bigger projects starting with work--a much needed increase in hours.  GRE subject test approaching t-minus 10 days.  Took the official, full-length practice test today.  More studying needed.  Still finalizing list of grad schools, and getting ready to send out information to references so they can write letters.  Actual applications to be compiled following the subject test.  

Still working on Merry Wives of WindsorAntony and Cleopatra, and Inferno. Finished reading A War of Gifts by Orson Scott Card.  A very bizarre and philosophical story, with interesting and vague commentary on religion and nationalism.  Anyone read it?  Thoughts?

So that's life, plus peeling 4 pounds of apples to make homemade applesauce.  Smells great cooking, but ends up with so little sauce for so many apples.  Sounds like the start of a great analogy, but I don't have the energy right now.

Real post to follow...
