but it's actually not as bad as I expected. I'm in New Haven, taking courses all summer, and it's quite different to be doing astronomy problem sets in beautiful (ok muggy and kind of overpoweringly hot) weather without any other responsibilities than it is to be doing problem sets in October while thinking about a million other things.
I'm also moved in (pretty much) to my new apartment! The only thing is the ceiling's caved in, so our living room is a bit of a mess right now. Plaster/paint on the floor, gaping holes, etc. But once that's fixed we'll be all set... :) Truly, though, it's so nice to have space to myself that's not in a dorm -- feels so different. It's lovely.
In other news I am in serious singing withdrawal, and by singing withdrawal I mean redhot withdrawal. I keep finding myself singing shoe parts but somehow it's just not as satisfying when I'm in a big empty apartment by myself. Or in the shower. Either way. Retreat could not come soon enough.
Also, I just went home on Sunday to see Wilco play and it was SO GOOD I repeat SO GOOD. I'd seen them last year at home as well but this year's set was even better. Great to be home for a day -- I played with my dog and sat outside reading.
I suppose I'd better return to outlining this paper on obscure modern poetry. Eh. More soon!
