I'm back from places East. it was marvelous and difficult, and absolutely gorgeous.

I made it across the Atlantic both ways legally, due to a peculiar business in New York that capitalizes off panicking international travelers.

My comprehension of spoken French is substantially improved. Also French comics (er, "bande dessinée") are an entertaining way to expand vocabulary. I am looking at taking a class in French but there aren't any openings this quarter. Maybe next quarter. School starts Wednesday.

I'm still wildly jet-lagged. I am digging out from under the email drifts.

haven't caught up on anybody's livejournal at all. I hope to get to that before the end of the next week. School starts Wednesday.

See you in ten days!

yoicks. that soon, huh?

yah! wow.

Hey, welcome back! Beer drinking is in order!
And as for French, unless you need the credits, you could always audit. They're usually really cool about it & the TA's are receptive to auditors.

you know, I should look at auditing for this quarter maybe. I need no new credits. It's a lot of time to add to my schedule with no credits though: if I don't get the credits, I have other classes too.

PS -- are you back too? welcome back yourself!

write me email to tell me where/when you're free.

Hey, Troch, I hear school starts on Wednesday!

[trochee.livejournal.com]

you know, I think I read that somewhere!

i heard a rumor you're coming back here sometime soon. can you confirm or deny?

[beckyb.livejournal.com]

Confirm. 10/13-16-ish. I want to see Scab. Consider the CCSC conference on that Friday/Saturday.

Surely you can stretch this trip to the 19th for Jumping Cholla, right ?

[beckyb.livejournal.com]

Nope. Business advisory board meeting on the 18th and lectures on the 17th, 18th and 19th. It's tough to stretch things once the semester gets started.
I think I will have to wait for Jumping Cholla in its full form. I am eager for this creation.
And don't call me Shirley.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

All right Charlie.

[mythalethe.livejournal.com]

And welcome back yourself! you are back in the PNW, yes?

[mythalethe.livejournal.com]

yep, let's grab beers soon!

Yay, he's back on line

[lapartera.livejournal.com]

Glad to be connected again. Although you are not "back" in my physical world, it's good to see you here! I never would have predicted such a gap in my life, but I do treasure reading you all!

I sympathize. the community that's here is pretty special.
