again it begins / by Laura Kochman

 

There is only one more day until the semester starts. I only have classes Monday/Tuesday/Thursday, so technically there are two days until I teach, and actually I won't have any grad classes of my own until next Monday, but still. I have a bunch of reading to do for my forms class, and I think one of these packages contains Thoreau's Journals, which I'm supposed to read day-by-day. I have printed out my syllabus and my students' first reading assignment. The garden has been weeded.
