Update

So I'm sitting here, proctoring one student as he takes my final early. And, I forgot my work bag, so I can't work. I'm not really upset about that.

I haven't written anything personal in awhile, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. Only, I can't think of anything interesting to report.

Still in the house-buying maelstrom. I have every reason to hope that the one deal will go through, but it's still a waiting game.

Still teaching, and still loving it. Finals are next week, and my grading is piling up, but in the long run everything is going fairly well.

I knew moving north would be lonely, and I was right. I'm still lacking a good local friend to hang out with. If only e-Harmony would provide a service for finding friends. I'm either way older, or in a very different life stage than most of the people I meet. And, I've hit my limit on how many conversations I can have about potty training and tantrum stopping. I have no experience and, at this point, little interest. Which puts a damper on conversation with those of you who--very understandably--are interested in potty training, et al.

So, that's my life. I've kept you up to date with what I'm reading. I have no travel plans. Traveling alone is sometimes lonely and often unsafe. However, I'm pining for Europe somewhat. I may have to make a quick trip to France and Hungary and Ireland and the UK and ... well, maybe I'll have to choose between those.

TTFN!
