School starts Monday

I'm rather excited.  No, really!  This summer has been beautiful--so many little things accomplished, brilliant afternoons reading outdoors, fun get-togethers.  But overall, I feel more than ready to go back to studying and the like (well, except for waking up at 5:15 am!).  The last half year has given me so much new perspective and time to reassess things, and I know it will help me this school year.

On a bookish note, I just read some really short stories by Kafka (from ManyBooks.net).  If you have just a half hour, I highly recommend them.  The first one is actually, I believe, an excerpt from his novel The Trial.  I'm not saying I totally understand them, but the style/format is really intriguing.
