In Anticipation Of A Normal Life, Resumed

in 2 weeks i'll have moved into a new apartment *and* finished my 50-book exam.

i've been reading for the exam since memorial day (minus the several weeks in july that i was on vacation and at rare book school in charlottesville), so i've been feeling rather studious/nerdy/exhausted for weeks now. but the packing just began today, at full speed -- and already there are about 8 boxes worth of books/kitchen stuff/sweaters/linens/random trinkets sitting in my living room, waiting to be joined by the other 8 (and the 4 suitcases of varying sizes) that will get packed over the next ten days.

i can't wait!
