Those New City buses sure can be convenient when they want to be. I got from school to home to school in 30 minutes today after a minor crisis sent me back to the house for supplies.
Minus:
I lost my student ID and had to have it replaced. Again. From now on I'm not taking it out of the wallet unless I'm asked to.

Plus:
The PhD committee meeting has been held for the year, and it generated a) some really good feedback and b) something resembling a plan of action.
Minus:
Some of my committee members had an extremely negative reaction to a proposed avenue of research, so it's back to the drawing board. But at least I found out early.

Plus:
I still know quite a lot about Japanese ghosts and monsters and can talk about them pretty much off the cuff for the better part of 45 minutes with almost no prompting.
Minus:
I don't know nearly as much about John Williams as I'd like, nor will I as the John Williams concert was cancelled due to Williams having injured his back. Sadness.

Plus:
Foucault is starting to make more sense as he gets farther and farther away from attempts at historical context.
Minus:
Foucault still phrases things in ways that make me want to choke his punk ass out.
