A little is a lot better than none

And it is this philosophy (the title) that makes me write something, thought I don't have time for anything long, well planned, or properly edited. Hello dear friends, Romans, and countrymen. I think of many of you often with love, and wish I could sit and have tea and crumpets with you in person.

Graduate school is (and this should come as no surprise) a huge quantity of reading and homework. I was behind and am now finally almost caught up. However I'm saying goodbye to my Manhatten SSE students, which means about 10 hours of driving and taking the train, all told, to get there from Keene, New Hampshire and back again. 

I also needed to switch out the car I was using (my dad's Subaru) for my car (my mom's old car) and pick up any stuff that I'd wished I'd had over the last few weeks. In any case, travel is not just a lot of time, it's also a lot of energy, so I've got to make good use of this trip, since I don't know how often I'll be able to make it. Especially since this crazy semester is going to be the LIGHTEST one. It will be fine, I just need to reacquaint and refine my somewhat disused academic skills and get better at doing a 'good enough' job on projects that are less important. Without a time-turner it is the only way I can figure out. I've been learning all this time, but the way you learn in school is different and much more paper heavy than the way you learn in real life.

Which is interesting and perhaps something I should note, as a future teacher.

Much love to you all. Here is a picture of a very cute cat in the bed of some friends I met in New York.
