Bad Blogger! No Biscuit!

Audience, please forgive me. It’s been four months since my last post, and so much has happened. I know I’ve let all of you down, so I hope you’ll bear with me.

Let see, where to start….

Ok, school – I’m pretty much half-way through the semester, and things are going well. I’ve (mostly) gotten into the rhythm of school. I’ve got a fairly full plate – five classes (15 hours) and teaching an undergraduate design studio.

My major realization has been to figure out how out of the norm I am. First, I’m older than the normal grad student – most are in their mid 20’s. Second, the MLA program is geared towards teaching people how to be landscape architects. I’ve got a pretty good handle on that by now, so many of the classes aren’t as challenging as I might like. Still, that *should* have been obvious from the outset, but I guess I’m a bit slow. What it does mean, though, is that I need to be more proactive in my education. No worries – I’ve got some ideas about how to do that.

As for the rest of my life, it’s fairly boring. It’s nice to have a place of my own again, and I’ve got good neighbors. It’s also nice to have my cat (aka The Grumpy Badger) back, and she and the dog have both settled in well, and are getting along fine. No social life to speak of, but that will happen with time.

Well, that’s about it for now. I’ve got to study a bit for a mid-term tomorrow, then pack for a trip to NYC over fall break.

Take care, and stay in touch!
