if not for the fact that i have to meet with my advisor tomorrow why should i believe that school will ever begin? i am blogging and eating a dish of raspberries and my room is large and i've got purple drapery over the door and windows and dutch iris in a glass vase on a black bamboo table raiser and cushions and an armchair and soft silk shawls and bear and ponder and books of an entirely unacademic nature.
