Drinking from a fire hose

I started my new medieval class (it's a "second 8 weeks" class, the equivalent of a block class there in zoobie land)....it was AWESOME.

I've never felt like I had a good knowledge of the surrounding history of the literature I study. I think that's going to be remedied, at least for this time period. I left class totally drained, with so many ideas bouncing around in my head that I couldn't think straight. But it was a good overwhelmed, not an "I'm so lost I'm going to die" overwhelmed. It made me miss certain professors that we all know and love.

Other than that, just life as it runs....busy, planning schedules for next semester...pretty boring really.
