This and That.

A week from today I will be effectively done with my obligations for the fall term. I will have completed the last of my Chinese assignments, taken my Chinese final exam, taught my last Japanese for Beginners class, given a colloquium presentation, given a presentation for my seminar, completed and turned in my seminar paper, and closed out my Japanese course. I'll still have to write and submit a last draft of my mock grant proposal, but that's nothing to worry over.

Basically, what all that means is I'll be really happy next weekend. But I have to do a lot to get there.

Anyway, I'll check back in soon with an update as to how it's all going. In the meantime, here's the final version of my fall music mix - a record of this term's basic headspace - for anyone who's interested in that kind of thing.
