An Update

It's been a good stretch indeed since we've seen anything like this around Plenty of Paper. I don't intend to make excuses for my lack of blogging because there isn't really anything I can say other than "I just haven't experienced anything worth blogging about", and that makes me sound mighty boring.

Today is a rare day; I still don't really have anything to say, but I'm in the mood to share that nothingness with my readership. Let's start with the most mundane: I have a near-dehibilitating migraine that just came out of nowhere and Layla has recently recovered from a particularly violent case of the hiccups. We're a stout bunch here at POP headquarters, believe you me.

I've come to the realization that I totally love all of my classes this semester with the exception of History of Germany, which is from hell. Spanish is far more exciting this year than last and Oceanography is a piece of cake. I don't really know what I'm supposed to be learning in Rhetoric of Style, but "be a better BSer" seems to be a recurring theme and I'm totally on board with that. My Life and Literature of the American South prof is a badass very generous with the "Life" aspect of the class and a little more conservative with the "Literature" part. This makes the whole "reading" thing way more enjoyable and laidback, which I really appreciate. The goal of History of Germany, it seems, is to syphon all of my time away from the classes that I actually need, and that's just not going to fly. Check back next week for a post about Q-dropping the heck out of that class.

I'm really bored with my layout and I have the beginnings of an idea for a new one, so if my current enthusiasm for blogging holds up I might just redecorate the place. That would be some treat.
