I've been in this coffee shop for about five hours. In that time, I made an insane schedule of reading that I will have to complete to be ready for my PhD exams in late winter (Week 5: Barthes, Wittgenstein, Bakhtin, Lowell, Bishop, Berryman, Jarrell). I also reserved about 100 books from the library. I'm going to have to bring a wheelbarrow to school every day this week.

Look at how dark it is! Despite the extra hour of sleep (or five, in my case), daylight savings might be my least favorite holiday of the whole year.
