I have a friend in town! I feel like this whole past year I've had to repeat, "You have really good friends, they just don't live here." And now one is visiting! Hurrah! I worked last weekend to get things done so I could play. We talked until 1:00 a.m. last night. This morning was a leisurely 8:00 a.m. wake-up, went for a run (I got us a little lost - oops!), breakfast and then coffee/chatting on the outside patio at Pablo's. Pablo's has these free little stickers. One says "Danger monkey." The one I love most says "Small but Mighty." As Andy says, "I am Camgi, hear me roar!"
Anyway, it's been great to chat with my good friend, feel connected and calm, hear about how great she's been (post PhD comp. exams). It's inspiring and invigorating to talk ideas, about gaining control of one's own studies, getting past the hump of learning what other people want you to learn. She's now at the point where she is learning what SHE wants to learn. I have high hopes that my MA thesis will be the chance for me to be creative, actually pull together the J.D. and M.A. One day I'll get there, too...
She's here until Thursday, so I'm making myself scarce around school until then. It's lovely.
