Live from Bread Loaf

Greetings from Bread Loaf, where I sit, wishing I'd had time to read all of the books they told me to read before I got up here - they weren't kidding! Now that the secondary sources have been assigned and papers are coming due, there is not a moment to spare. It's extremely rigorous, my peers are intelligent and intense, and I am loving it.

Yes, it's hard to completely throw myself into the program with a 10 month old at home, but she's probably also a good break from the hard thinking. As with most things in life, this is an exercise in time management.

And speaking of, I should get back to my essay on Emerson and Wordsworth . . .
