- I'm going to La Porte this weekend. Kevin's in Denver skiing with friends, so rather than hang in Chicago alone, I'm going to spend Friday afternoon through Sunday night with my parents and grandpa. Also on the docket is the first Slicer basketball game I've attended in a long time.
- My "work group" at school. A couple of other grad students and I have banded together to hold each other accountable for getting stuff done. We meet once a week for two hours. Every other week one of us presents some writing we're working on, and the other weeks we just work. I don't allow myself to check email or blogs or Facebook or anything during that time...two hours of pure effort. I do get a lot done AND I committed to presenting five pages of this long-term project I have to do for my grad program at our next meeting. There's no way I would have written five pages of it yet if I hadn't been part of this group. So that's fun. Or, maybe not fun, but good for me.
- I'm sleeping over at Kelly's tonight. Awesome.
- The weather's been mild.
- I saw a light show/public art exhibit called "Luminous Field" at Millennium Park last night and then got a spontaneous glass of wine with Kevin and my friend Cassie. I love this city.
- In general, school's just going well. I like not being in classes. I like the direction my research interests are going. I like my schedule.
- I get to go back and see Amy's kids next week. I visited her class about once a week last school year, and this year I just haven't gotten to it. I can't wait to see how much they've changed.
That's about it! Life's quiet but good.
