grad schoool.

Well, it's been a while since I posted here, it's been an adjustment settling into life in America but since I moved into my new place in sunny ALLSTON!, it's been nice to walk instead of commute in the mornings. Amidst frantic reading, papers, and general learning-about-linguistics-ness (which has been brilliant!), I've managed to get out into the world a little bit and catch up with old friends.

Stu, Dawn-Marie and I at King Richard's Faire.



A normal day at work, socializing with students before class starts.



Students show their (Halloween) school spirit.



Me and my buddy Suzanne wait for the Public Library to open in Copley. Love that place.



The trees on my street in Allston are gorgeous.



It's been hard work, but I really love my program at UMass Boston, the readings are all things that I would have loved to explore on my own, but let's face it - didn't have the self-motivation to ever do so. Life is busy but fulfilling. Honestly, my biggest fear in coming back to Boston and diving back into a more normal (less travel-centered) life is that I'll lose sight of the little things in life that make me smile - changing seasons, a quiet cup of tea, blue skies - I don't want to become one of those busy busy people who's so buried in a schedule that he can't see the world around him. I ever get like that, you've all got permission to kick me in the shins till I wake up. :)
