Wholesome

Today is a nice, wholesome day. The whole suite is home, it's freezing outside, and we're all just gathered around, watching movies, writing papers, playing video games, and eating in the warmth of the apartment. I feel really happy. This has been a great semester; just as good as I had hoped for, and I've gotten through the hardest work, I think. Classes end Wednesday. I have to write another draft of an essay. Finish up my photo project. Study for a handful exams.

This week was horrendous, but it's been surpassed. I've never worked so hard, so long, and so ceaslessly in my entire academic career, but it's done, done, done, done, done. I slept early yesterday, woke up, and have been at home all day. I'm relaxed, recovered, comfortable, warm, listening to Radiohead. It's nice. Going to watch Mulan later. Going to write a bit later. Going to edit some photos later.

I'm looking forward to Christmas. I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time writing and finishing drafts of the screenplays we're working on. I'm looking forward to the meeting with the N. I'm reading a play by Ben Johnson, a contemporary of Shakespeare,Volpone, because Eric and I want to adapt it into a film. Things are going pretty well. I'm happy with the way this semester shaped itself out. I'm not entirely in the clear yet, but one way or another, the end is nearing. It'll be nice to rest and work leisurely for a few weeks.

I love the winter.
