1. Canned green beans with oil and vinegar and a little salt- maybe it's a weird snack, but it was awfully good. (Perhaps it's just another manifestation of the father-daughter connection: family lore tells me that when Mom and Dad met, Dad was living on a diet that consisted heavily of hot dogs and canned green beans, french style. Myself, I no longer eat hot dogs, but canned green beans are useful things to have around.)
2. I'm (once again) in search of plans for Shabbos lunch. I'd be happy for an invite, or folks with whom to potluck, or for people to invite themselves over to me...
3. Finals are going slowly, but reasonably calmly. It's just that I have several significantly started, but not quite done yet. (I'm now done with 2 out of 6 classes, have either started or done significant preparation for 2 more, and started studying for another, leaving only one untouched. Out of the two I've started, one needs less than an hour's work left, and the other probably about 2 hours. So really, I'm not doing that badly.)
4. I keep thinking that I have indeed made good progress with my packing, and then I look at all the stuff that I have yet to pack and get rather discouraged. It's a hard balance to keep, especially since I'm not yet packing anything that's coming with me for the summer, or that I will need in the next 10ish days. But still- I'm moving in 10 days, and that's starting to feel pretty intimidating.
