Faber est suæ quisque fortunæ

I'm still here, just dealing with my lovey being quite a long way away. I miss her terribly.

First day of classes are today, luckily for me I don't have one until noon. And then, it's my only class of the day. Yay!

My new job at the Drama Dept. is going swimmingly. It's fun to work the carpentry shop and have the raw power of making things from the ground up. It was an interesting experience to have one of my overseers say "We need to make a box of these dimensions with x, y, and z..." and then get right to it. I wasn't yet equipped with the mind set to simply go get materials, cut them to size using the various giant, circular saws in the shop, and assembling them with carpenters glue and staples. There's something very Zen about physical work with your hands, and I found the majority of what I was doing quite calming.

Nothing much happening yet, and still getting back into the ol' school groove. I'll post more as my classes start up.

Enough. More Later,
- James

Alea iacta est

Ave Regina cælorum,
Ave Domina Angelorum:
Salve radix, salve porta,
Ex qua mundo lux est orta.
..Vale, o valde decora...

Hail, Queen of the heavens,
Hail, Lady of the Angels:
Hail, root, Hail, portal,
From whom Light has shone to (my) world...
...Farewell, o most beautiful (one)...

Enough, more later,
