Internet access and blogging

Sorry about the lack of blog upkeep, the problem ought to be solved by Thursday which is when I have been Promised, nay guaranteed, that I will have my internet installed at home, finally.

If you've been wondering what's been keeping me so busy, it's work..I've been continuing with the marathon of instruction, my final class to teach is this Friday, and then that's it...until next term that is.

I've also been working here and there on my own little project, which is, you guessed it...another blog.

I'm crazy, but this one is for my students and my departments and people seem to be responding well:

Carleton Library: Art History, English, Comp lit & Philosophy Blog

When I have more time, I'll post more mundane details of my life here in o-town, I promise!

a post mostly about furniture

I got a love seat/couch/seating for my living room area, this is what it looks like, only it's a 2 seater:



I also finally got a bookshelf, liberating my books from the piles on the floor, it is not exciting looking, white, 3 shelves.

I'm definitely settling in and I've decided that I will embrace the snow, as far as my deck at least, I plan to build a snowman, or snow family depending on the winter we have, on my deck, for my and my neighbour's amusement.

Wet snow today, not my favourite at all. My hair gets all fluffy when it dries out and I'm already experiencing the glasses fog ups.

Work ought to even out...by Dec...busy isn't the word...and there is so much waiting for me on Monday...I shall deserve my Christmas break this year.
