flickr is going through some kind of upgrade but when they come back you should see a photo stream of mine in the bottom left corner (scroll down!) of this blog. i'll probably move it further up the page soon but for now...

anyway, i started teaching this week and it wasn't without some bizarreness but what else is new, huh? meanwhile it's freezing cold out and windy and snowing and, bleh, it's winter. i'm trying not to take any narcotics this weekend...it's that time of the month and i'm wondering if this new med that i'm on is going to help or not. so i'm just on advil for now...this could prove to be a giant mistake in a few hours.
