College resumed today. I was running on about four hours of sleep.

Saw my counselor, talked for an hour. Not the most productive of sessions, but ended with a question to consider for next week, which is liable to be very interesting, and very likely to generate another long note to members of my notify list. But we'll see.

Ran into a friend near the English Department office, talked for a bit on classes, favorite books, feminism, literary criticism, and other fun stuff, and made an appointment for a long-overdue conversation next week.

From there, to the computer lab, where I reread the articles I was doing my English 399 paper on, scribbling down lots of notes in the margins and in a Word document. Went home, called Phebe, discussed a couple of details in said articles, and got to work on actually typing the thing somewhere around midnight.

Acutely regretted the fact that I had lent out my Pat Benatar CD, which I often have on while I'm working. Oh, well.

(In fact, I forgot to list it amongst my CDs the other day, for that reason. This has been corrected.)

Worked on the paper throughout the night...
