I'm... well, you know

So I've been back in Paris for about two weeks now, but I left my camera cord in Vermont, so I won't really get to update until it gets here and I can post photographs of things. To tide you over, here is a yuletide image from the homeland. There's nothing much to report -- being back is going well, and I'm slowly adjusting to the fact that there are 55 new people in my program, only 5 of whom I know. It's a little bizarre. Anyway, I'll update again once I can illustrate, because text-only entries are pretty boring.
