Another hiatus

So I haven't posted in almost a month. I'm going to blame that on the fall semester.

I've been pretty much swamped since school started, and that's never fun. But I've been having some fun despite being swamped.

Because I started graduate school, teaching and editing at the Wildcat, I have barely had time to cook anything decent, so my diet has gone to hell. I ate truffles for lunch two days in a row this week, and then almost got away with just eating brownies for dinner one night. Until my stomach almost chewed it's way out alien-style and forced me to eat a stuffed bell pepper.

I'm working on that. I figure I'll eat better if I start cooking for people in the newsroom. And it seems like people in the newsroom need home-cooked meals, so I'm down with that. It'll be a nice counterbalance to the candy jar I set up in the arts desk cubicle thinger. The candy's wiped out by the end of the week, and I've spent about $20 on candy a week so far. Talk about an expensive enterprise.

In other news, grad school is going well. Lots of homework but never a dull minute.

Teaching is going extremely well (or at least that's what I think...), and I'm happy I decided to do it.

I've met lots of wonderful and interesting people so far this semester, which is good. Especially since all of my friends left me for far-off and interesting places like California and Poland. *Sigh*

We'll see how much longer this thing lasts as a food blog. It may end up becoming an...I don't know what...grad school/newspaper/teaching stress lamentation blog.
