Today is a good day. It is nice out. I just finished up my semester with a strong showing on my History of Modern Russia final exam (a collateral field in my PhD in poetry) and I finished a strong, I think, seminar paper in post-colonial poetics. I'm done for the summer being a student.
Things to come:
1. grading lots of essays.
2. A and I are going to Des Moines' Prairie Meadow race track to meet up with my pops and bet on the live ponies and the Kentucky Derby ponies this weekend.
3. Monday I start my corn job.
4. Mathias and I got a pretty impressive amount of chap mannies for Octopus #8. Very enthused/overwhelmed/anxious/eager. I'll spend a terrific chunk of my May evenings reading those gems after a long hot day toiling in the fields.
Other news (good):
1. I got a TA for next fall and spring. This lifts some significant burdens/stress.
2. Check me out in the new Typo.
3. Check me out in the new Summer 2006 international issue of the Washington Square Review. I'm sharing space with Darwish.

A TA! Yes, Zach. Congrats. I knew you'd win them over.
Package arrived today--it's by far the best card we've received. Nice. And the books, too. Yes yes yes.
