Academia has swallowed me. Fortunately its stomach is lined with old manuscriptual awesomeness.

Sounds like fun. Same thing with me, that and politics. Bleh.

It is fun... and kind of scary. In about a week, week and half it's going to hit me that I have two term papers due in June. The short one has no topic save that it has to do with Chaucer because that's the class and the 15-pager has a proposed topic of Relativity in pre-WW2 Sci-Fi literature, something which neither I nor my professor can actually be certain exists, though he implied that time travel counts...
Never mind the portfolio for poetry. I think this quarter qualifies as literary masochism.

*Hand reaches out from under the table and snatches a passing mug of black tea and a sleep-deprived, monstrous voice echos from the depths of the scholarly lair...*
Caffeine... *A great slurping follows and then:* Good morning!
