of cupcakes, literature and black metal

Yesterday marked the completion of my first year of graduate school. CLEARLY before the partying comes the desk cleaning and filing. Fresh slate! Go, go Virgo power!

The contents of my desk (can a surface have contents?) reflect the immediate projects at hand: pleasure reading (currently The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson), my vitamins (part of my ongoing New Year’s resolution), notebooks for all the writing I’m going to get done, and my meager point-and-shoot photo equipment, for some art projects I have planned this summer. One of the books visible also points to an upcoming project…teaching myself Swedish!
