warm weather and the end of the semester

Alfonso VII -- I will have to be getting back to him.

After a Holy Week of intense blogging, I have picked up the work I have to do and am bracing myself for the end of the semester. Filius imperatricis pulcherrimae Africae occidentalis has the week off from school and it's supposed to get near 77 degrees tomorrow, so I plan to take him to Central Park tomorrow, even though I will be dragging books with me.

A few things:

-I distributed my dissertation prospectus a week and a half ago and will be defending it on the 27th. Wish me luck.

-The students in the class I am a TA for hand in their papers on Monday. Again, wish me luck.

-William Sloan Coffin, RIP.

-I downloaded the entire Latin Vulgate Bible onto my PDA. Sometimes I love the 21st century. The Vulgate and other versions of the Bible are available here.

Time to take out summer clothes and prepare for the warm weather. Summertime -- the living is easy. Fish are jumping and the cotton is high. Your daddy is rich and your momma's good-looking. So hush now, little baby, don't you cry.
