Well, I am not sure what happened last week. It's only in the second week of the semester here, but somehow I found myself very preoccupied with classes and short on sleep. I seem to have rectified that situation to some extent now.
Meanwhile, I am plugging away revising a conference paper (project A). I am finding it a bit recalcitrant, possibly because I'm more interested in other things (projects B and C), but A has a more imminent deadline. I've just downloaded or requested a blizzard of books and articles for project B, which I'll start reading as I finish the work on project A. As usual, combing the indexes of journals has flushed out several articles which I really should have read already, or at least been aware of. That does tend to induce some guilt, but at least I'm aware of them now...

At one point in grad school, one of my professors casually mentioned that "A good grad student has a list of unassigned books to read as well." I internally noted that I must be a good grad student, because I definitely had a list... and she never said anything about actually *reading* anything on that list, right?
Which is a long way of saying: Good for you!
Heh. Yes, I have a very long list of unassigned books... unfortunately, I'm also not that good at keeping track of the list...
