experiment

its january. for most students, teacher & other folks affiliated with academia, that means a fresh start with a new semester. ah, the thrill of new syllabi, new books, new students, new ideas. gone is the drudgery of last semester. all seems possible, all seems good.

not at harvard.

its finals here at one of america's biggest over-rated istitutions. four papers. 20 days. and i'm at the beginning.

so this is the experiment: if i remember correctly from last year, i looked pretty horrible after the stress-induction that was january 2006. this picture is me at the beginning. i'm one day in, approximately 22 to go (my last paper is due january 23rd). i'll take a picture at the end & compare notes.

here's hoping i don't get much paler!

oh...and of course! happy 2007. stay tuned for the wonderful world of "kate turns 27" countdown to begin in just a month:).
