I have so many fines owed to the NYPL, despite the fact that I could have renewed the three books I recently got online. In fact, I did renew them, just later than I should have. Despite the double-digits due, it was totally worth it. Now, can someone loan me twenty bucks?
The orientation for my program is on Wednesday and I start classes in a week. I've been spending much of my time applying for internships, collecting notebooks from far corners and perfecting the vision of what I want to get out of this program. As someone with a lackluster academic background, this program is a double-challenge to me. As an adult, I feel much more prepared to dive in and give over to the lure of learning. It certainly helps to be healthier and happier. Thanks to everyone that has helped me from the discussion phase to the now; you don't know how much I owe you.
What are you tryharderlanders uo to this Fall?

Ohhh remember when school was just a bunch of expensive envelopes posted from around the continent to hopeful locations? And now, you are all signed up and ready to learn! Sooo exciting!
A: I know. I can't really believe it.
I like that Alain Resnais documentary (Tout la memoire...). It has a lot of tracking shots through the Bibliotheque set to early electronic music.
You are at the library at night?
