A spot opened up in my Intro to Poetry Writing class. I really hope it's filled by 4:00 p.m. I want a full class. #

Just met my officemate, who is clearly 100x more intelligent than I am. Wow. #

It's been sanitized and shocked: we're about to make our first visit into the healing waters. #

Barring any nasty skin disease, I think we'll soon be ready to invite people to bring their Russian energy drinks over. #

It's sinking in that both my BL friends AND a large subset of the Lindanians are dispersed over the globe. Sad face. #

Preparing the Blackboard site for a new semester, missing my wonderful honors students from last fall. #

I didn't know this thing called "eleven-and-a-half hours' sleep" still existed! #

Did I mention that Amy Hempel gives an amazing reading? #blwc10 #

I don't think I'll have this many near-weepy moments when I return to the real world, but Cutter's family e-mail almost tipped me. #blwc10 #

I have completed my yearly inspection and concluded that I still hate the Jersey Turnpike with a passion. #

Home from Bread Loaf. Long day of driving. Got rear-ended north of Baltimore, which blows. But no one hurt, so all told, it's all good. #

OMG! Who set up the Facebook page for Weather Dog? SO COOL! #blwc10 http://bit.ly/ajMSH4 #
