The first week of the semester has come and gone. And, so far so good. I am mostly caught up with readings, which is saying something because I am already inundated with journal articles, texts and other readings. For one class I had nearly 200 pages of reading... before the first lecture! Oh well. So far all my classes seem interesting and I am looking forward to each of them (I don't remember the last time that happened). I have another Statistics class, Public Management, Social Policy, and Community Economic Development. It will be a lot of work, but should be good.
In other news, it's damn cold here. How cold? So cold that boogers freeze in you nose. So cold that eye lashes freeze together when you blink. So cold that I am even taking the bus sometimes. The current temperature as I am writing this at 9:13am is -4 F. Damn, that's cold. But, it's not just here, the cold snap is punishing the entire upper Midwest and you just have to deal with it. Fortunately for me, I got a pair of ski goggles and some face cream to keep me warm. The cream keeps my skin from chapping and the goggles are a God-send. I wear a balaclava and a skull cap to keep my head warm it's really quite amazing how well the goggles keep the rest of my face warm. Previously, I would get a splitting pain right in the middle of my forehead from the cold, but now I bike along in an orange-tinted bliss.
