correspondence

I know (vaguely) what you mean about being busy. I say vaguely because I just finished talking to some Teach for America Corps members who successfully convinced me of the amount of work teachers face. Anyway, I feel slightly overwhelmed here at school but nowhere near as you must. I've managed to take four classes that require I read one book per week plus extra readings and writing responses. I spent yesterday reading from 9am to 2am. Unbelievable. I think I'm going to start counting how many pages I'm expected to read per week and post them on my door or something. Thankfully I love everything I read, I just wish I had more time to do it! I desperately want Hermione's time device...that would make my life slightly less hectic.

Since you last wrote has there been a second date??? I love hearing about my friends' romantic journeys, they are most often far more exciting than mine. I tend to focus on academics and "me" when I'm at school - boys are the perifery, the back-drop if you will. They flit in and quickly out of my life very much like butterflies and I regard them as such: beautiful, incomprehensible and dumb (am I cruel?). Occasionaly I get rather fluttery when I find a guy I can actually communicate with. In any case, I'd love to hear more.
