The Harvest Now Is Over, the Summer Days Are Gone

A Semester Begins Today is Labor Day, which marks the unofficial end of summer.  I am at home, enjoying my first day off in weeks, watching tennis on television with Miriam.  I am getting caught up with homework, and that feels nice.

The first day of autumn classes at the University of Florida was August 24.  I am taking eighteen hours this semester, so I’ll be the world’s busiest student until mid-December.  To tell the truth, I am overwhelmed.  Don’t be surprised if I neglect this webpage for some time.  I haven’t even finished writing about the great Puerto Rico vacation.

Meanwhile, when I think back on this summer, it seems like a blur.  Particularly memorable were the weeks I spent watching Ken Burns documentaries before Summer B classes commenced.  The rest of the season was consumed by German homework.  Alas, that continues this fall.
