So last time I was around here I had intentions of blogging soon after, but yet again months have passed. Alas, I've started graduate school in the CLE and have been living on my own (with 3 crazy art students) in the Heights. So the summer was good and the last few weeks have promised a busy fall semester as I'm still working a bunch with a heavy load of reading piled on.
In saying that, my two classes are pretty crazy polar opposites. My first class is absolutely wonderful and exhibits all of the qualities of the English classes I had Junior year when I decided to switch my major. The teacher is great, the reading list is great, and the two hours fly by. My second class is a sheer torturous two hours of boredom wherein two people raise their hands and ask a simple stupid question about a placement of a comma or an editors word choice and our entire class then is made up of talking about just that. Killlll me. I miss Japanese and a lot of my friends from Kansai are taking over the old Nihon right now in the Jet Programme and torturing me about it via their pictures and such on Facebook. I'd kill just to walk through Shinsaibashi and Namba and eat a good, cheap bowl of katsudon.
But other than that I've been spending too much time at Aladdin's thinking about how I need a job that gives me some sort of teaching/tutoring experience, so today I'm working on my resume and a cover letter. Get me out of that nepotist environment. Someone! PLZ!
And that's just about all I got after two months of no blogging. I read some good books over the summer, the early of which I wrote about HERE, and I even have winter break reading lined up (Zeitoun!). My Birthday was great and I'm officially old (22) and have been called ma'am a handful of times since. The weather is cooling down, my tomatoes are still growing, and Ryan & I have been gearing up for the winter by making some delish brunchy's and dinny's from market & garden food. My grilled cheeses with tomato and basil were amazing and I could live off of Ohio City Pasta and the Souper Market. So good.
In a couple weeks we're jaunting off to Montreal so maybe I'll have pictures for once. After that, Cedar Point, then hibernation.
