classes begin

[trochee]

Classes began today. I had a class in historical/comparative linguistics and a class in shallow processing for NLP.

I think both classes are likely to be quite easy. I'm a little concerned that they may be *too* easy.

I have been busy catching up on email and other tasks associated with getting back into school; I am also preparing my talk for the conference next week. It has been hard to get excited about it.

Today I saw Hedda Gabler with imtboo, blackwingedboy and alexstx21. Wow. Very Dogma- style, and well-told story. Totally absorbing. I knew the play already and it still made me jump.

I wasn't offended! I can really see how going to all those classes could suck up your time. I'm very pleased that you went and talked to advisors and professors and, of course, that they had the good sense to see that you are overqualified for the courses and are offering you independent work. You'll probably work even harder, but at least it will be productive work, not just wheel spinning.

Miss you, too.
