Classes are over and I just found out that I am for sure taking German this summer. It's something I need to do for my degree, but I am not super excited about it. I only need to be able to translate the language, not speak it, so that should be easier. So if anyone wants to write comments in German, I can make pathetic attempts to translate for practice.

I'm writing a paper about architectural form driven by a fear of other people, based on an essay that a historian wrote in 1971. And I am writing another paper on the rhetorical use of biology in 1960 in the work of another architectural historian. Actually, I have four papers to write this summer.

But what I am really thinking about much of the time is:
1. my tiny tomato plants
2. Lego Star Wars
3. joining the local rowing club
... it's been 10 years since I rowed, but I would love to be back on the water.
