Just a quick post today. Pictured as the Very Righteous Reverend herself, although she vamped a bit less during the actual ceremony.-----
This week was the first week of the school year, and this year I was aware of it more than usual. When you're a graduate student, the time sort of blurs together. (I'm a sixth year grad student! Argh! Soon it will be time to retire and I still won't have completed my thesis.) This year a bunch of new students joined our research group and the excitement and terror of the first year has been vividly brought back to me. I'm also taking a class this semester, and it's been so long that I was a bit blase. I didn't remember to figure out where the classroom was until I was almost-too-late, and I don't seem to own any decent pens anymore, because I only type everything. I'm sure the impending due date of the first homework assignment will make it seem more real.

Now, it's time to head home and batten the hatches in preparation of Hurricane Hanna.

Today, it has poured with rain all day so my new little flock were not able to get out to play and let of steam - as seven year olds need to do. But I'm sure the UK rain is nothing compared to Hurricane Hanna - hope it doesn't spoil your birthday plans.
I thought the Very Righteous Reverend did a fabulous job! Was such fun to be a part of a very memorable occasion.
I've been telling you RM, you need to copy the Latin American model and be a graduate student forever...or until a convenient revolution occurs.
I had to blow up the pic to see if that was the reverend's hair or a hat. either way would have been fabulous.
good luck with the classes and welcom back!
