Philosopher's Walk

On a drizzly evening this past week my family and I went out to explore a dusky Kyoto. My brother led the way toward the Philosopher's Walk, which we took toward Ginkaku-ji until we stopped from lack of light and too-muddy paths. Along the way we saw some cherry trees and duck couples. All was well in the world.

Right now before me lies a different kind of Philosopher's Walk—one paved with deadline after deadline. Buuuut, last weekend I got through one major one, and I'm feeling pretty good about the fact that I can chillax for the next couple of days.

So today and tomorrow I am getting myself organized and preparing my lesson plans. Having students—like, warm bodies in the room—is an amazing feeling...I just hope that I didn't piss them off to the point of preventing them from registering. Actually...now that I think about it, that's entirely possible...

Here's to a steadily warming Spring Semester!
