I had almost forgotten how great it is to walk through campus at 3.30 am and back the other way at 6.30 am. It is so quiet and peaceful. And today it is cold, so very cold. The first real cold day of the season. It's funny how autumn seems to last about one week around here. The temperatures go from 80 to 30 and the trees go from green to twig in about 7 days. Alas, I yearn for milder climes.

I have checked on all my grades and have found... that I'm passing all my classes! Yea!

I had this notion while I was walking up the stairs yesterday. I thought that it felt like a day that was geared toward just taking care of business, getting the stuff that needs to be done, done. But I felt like it wasn't just me that was spending the day accomplishing tasks, it felt like it was everybody. It felt like a day that no one, no where, was taking off the day to go play golf, or going on vacation, or anything like that. On Tuesday the 22nd of October, I beleive that no one called in sick to go have fun, if they called in sick it was because they were. While this may sound depressing, it wasn't a feeling of people being slaves to money, or their job, or such, it was more a feeling of "well, I have this much stuff to do and once I get done with that I can relax, so I'm going to go like hell today and relax later this week" Or maybe I just transposed the way I was feeling onto the entire world. So here's what we're going to do: you let me know whether you were just having a good ol' time yesterday or if you were working to get things accomplished and I will have the results Friday on whether I have my thumb on the pulse of this world (or on the pulse of this world that is my "reading audience") or not.
