It's 9:00, and I'm sleepy and antsy. Teaching first thing in the morning is a big change for me: I have to be ready the night before, no lunchtime bouts of inspiration to share later that afternoon. Plus, my students are quite a bit more sleepy at 8:15 than at 2:45. They're an interesting bunch, though; I'm terribly excited to get to know them better.

Today I started The Bluest Eye, attended a prospective professor's grad student interview, and had tea and cookies with a very kind friend. Josh and I are hanging out this evening. We watched Ratatouille and are drinking tea and eating cookies. Soon we will cuddle up in our flannel sheets and sleep until the alarm surprises us out of sleeping.
