I managed to write four pages of the prospectus yesterday--quite a feat. Today, I'm faced with a stack of 30-odd close readings of Shakespeare's sonnet 84, which I'm sure will keep me busy this weekend, along with a stack of midterms.

In the meantime, I'm expecting my copy of Marcella's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking to show up on my stoop any day now. Homemade tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce.
