Yes... it is the time of year where you will see a million updates from me.
Live with it ;p
I am in the library, I've been reading since about 8:45, so a little over an hour. I can't help, when reading this book (English society, 1580-1680) but to think of Diablotin. It just comes so naturally. It doesn't help to come across names like William Gouge ;p
It is bucketing down. We are supposed to get two inches of rain today. Gah! I have to supervise a library tour in about 10 minutes, which is why I am doing this entry instead of reading more. i havent decided if I will stay here afterwards, or go home and read. Probably it will depend on how scary the rain looks (right now, very).
Also, there was a surprising number of my professors in their offices this morning. Dr. parkerson, Dr, Dudley, and even carl, who I've come to think of as more of an afternoon type. It's Friday! It was eight o'clock! I'm shocked, I tell you. Anyway, that's all I've got for the moment. the new course I'm helping with seems like it should be good. There are fewer students, more work (a presentation), and higher standards. There are fewer lectures, but this is good, because the material presented in the previous course seemed like it could have been easily condensed... and now it will be! I would still do a lot of things differently, but at least they now have a real historiography text to round out their readings. It should be good. I have high expectations. And I should go to the room and meet the students maybe, hmmm?

Actually, for HD, I did have names for all the Gougers... I forget most of the, but I know there was a Jamie and an Angus of Gouge, because they reminded me of the Clan MacAdder...
Blackadder: And how stands that mighty army, the Clan MacAdder?
MacAdder: They're both well.
Blackadder: I always thought Jamie and Angus were such nice boys.
MacAdder: Angus is a girl.
