Oh, I love my family, but I'd give my six kids to get rid of my wife.

Has it already been six days since I last updated? That's almost a whole week. That's close to 2% of an entire year! Ah well, I guess lack of posting is a sign of activity IRL, but we can only hope.

What have I been up to? Mostly school stuff. Actually, I'm posting this blog from the information desk of the Cardinal Szoka Library at SHMS, where I'm now working 3 hours a week. It's pretty cushy, I just check books in and out, I get to know the inner workings of the library (basically that means getting told the code to the locked door at the back of the place) and getting to check books out for all my professors and "give 'em an inside deal" by letting them go over their checked-out books limit (which they all excede).

My boss at the library doesn't care how much I work at all, he just wants me to be in the general area, and maybe do some shelving if I feel like it and don't have too much homework. So it's a nice way of forcing myself to stay in the library sometimes. Another nice bonus is that since the library is located directly beneath the Church, and SHMS has a fairly decent organist who is always practicing... the library gets excellent background moody, scholarly-toned music all the time.

My much preferred work-study program, however, is becoming the personal assistant this semester for an amazing professor here ... after hearing Fr. Ed rave about this guy all summer its cool to be helping him to research, he's one of those guys I have a feeling I can learn alot from, now if I can just convince Fr. Fox to bring me with him next time he leads a pilgrimage...

In other news, I dropped by Ave again this weekend, for probably the last time in awhile now that everyone's homework is picking up around here. Ave had its semi-formal, which was somewhere between mediocre and amusing, but oh well, got to see a few people anyway. I especially enjoyed the song "Since you been gone" which was predictably played, and made the note that most ave girls dont seem to realize that for a guy to be gone he has to have been there in the first place. :-)

I hope that isn't too cruel, but I think the girls at AVE are definitely the sole people pushing for dances on the campus anymore, I'm not sure if it was ever any other way, but this was the first time I saw it so clearly. En Passant, Ave has to be the only school where the girls try to get the guys soaked in water all the time and not vice versa.
