books: the first days

First, THANK YOU!! The presentations went very very well yesterday and my classmate and I are both relieved but there is still a considerable amount of paper editing before we can be Finished completely. My upcoming deadlines include Tuesday (presentation/paper for the other course due) and May 9th (Final Paper due). That Rice Chex are now gluten free has me believing this process won’t be as difficult as previously believed. ;) Well, I’ll be joining the 5 year olds in the cereal aisle on Sunday night.

Onward to books:

We’ve established I read a lot. Put in a 3-day Shabbat/Yontif combination along with avoidance of the looming deadlines and you find books finally finished and a large chunk of others started.

However, I still haven’t yet had the time to properly draft posts. At the end I’ll fully disclose why I may have been distracted today..
