So you may have noticed that I haven't been the most consistent about posting these past few months. But really, it makes sense right? I'm starting a big new endeavor in a new place and as much as we used to think we were going to just be lazing around enjoying bonbons after sending the children off to bed early, adulthood in reality is much more busy than that. In my case, that meme talking about trying to juggle all my responsibilities, have a social life, and stay sane above the picture of Nuka (Kovu's older half-brother from The Lion King 2) right after he got blasted out of the grass fire is relatively accurate. Things are always busy around the holidays, and that's okay, but it's also much more work to try and juggle everything when there are dinners and get-togethers you want to enjoy with friends. Add in university and it's a perfect storm.
That being said, I may be busy but these last few weeks have been really fun as well. Introducing my flatmates to a Salzano Thanksgiving and attending two other Thanksgiving dinners throughout the week, it has been a good week in terms of food and friendship. It's amazing to me that it is already December, and I haven't gotten nearly as much writing (both for the PhD, my novels, and my blog) as I wanted, but overall things have been relatively productive. I'm making progress on my reading goal (which is higher right now than it has ever been and likely will ever be), I've submitted an abstract for my first conference of my PhD, the class I'm a TA for is close to finishing up, and I've purchased some yarn (AKA wool) for my Purim costume next year. So I'm busy, but with good things. I do think I'm going to need to do at least some work on my PhD over the winter break, but hopefully it won't be too strenuous. I feel as though I should be writing more today, but I don't have much else to say on this topic, other than to apologize for the inconsistencies, and to say I hope I'll do better over the next few weeks and during next term. Otherwise, I should probably get back to those responsibilities I'm juggling. ;) Happy Reading!

AuthorThe author is a librarian who reads "too much" (is there such a thing?) and talks just as much. As an aspiring author she gets bogged down by grammar rules when she just wants to forget them to make a sentence flow, but never seems to be able to. She appreciates thoughtful comments and constructive criticism, but internet trolls beware, she's read enough fantasy novels to know how to defeat the monsters. Archives
