Bleah...I still feel the weight of various moderate-sized tasks ahead of me...Persian final, NAQT stats, revisions for some encyclopedia articles I wrote last summer, figuring out my spiel in Quincy next month, meeting to finalize my sublet and moving...maybe one day I'll even catch up on whatever's happened in the Middle East while I was in Kalamazoo!
