On And On

So, the semester continues. I've been grading papers for most of the last month. Will probably be for another week.

I'm still loving every day of teaching. Seriously, let me do this for the rest of my life, and I will be happy. Who ever thought I would say that? I wonder, really, if you told me I'd be doing this 15 years ago, if I wouldn't have just laughed in your face.

Currently, I'm reading a great book, The Psychology of Religion, by Walter Houston Clark. Yes, THAT W. H. Clark, famous for his work with LSD and Religious Experience. This is an earlier work, but still very interesting to me. Stay tuned, I'll probably have more academic things to say about it at a later date.

In other news, I'm retaking the GRE. First retake went miserably, an 1110. I take it again in a few weeks, hopefully to get the 1400 + I would like. While a great many of the programs I'm applying to do not require the GRE (MIT, many Canadian schools), many do (Harvard), so a good GRE score is a major step. My last round of applying was with a 1380 and 5.5 Analytic scores, hopefully this time those latter scores will be higher at least.

Been enjoying Warhammer in my spare time. Quite a fun game, good for a few short hours of face smashing every night. Final Fantasy XI still eats my weekends, however, when grading isn't.

TTFN all. Here are some Donut.
