back
been neglecting my blog, among other things.
semester is closing in. . . a pity because this means i'm getting ever so close to graduation and then 'real life' which i'd much prefer to avoid for at least another long while. but it's been a good, busy semester. israeli lit my favorite class, by far. but also thoroughly enjoying mendelson's novel of education, though i have yet to finish middlemarch.. . . and my fiction workshop with lipsyte has been the most helpful workshop yet--thanks to the instructor and my classmates who have, for the most part, been really good with their critiques. . .
work @ YIVO (as p/t ed. assistant on the Encyclopedia of the Jews from Eastern Europe) has slowed down somewhat due to the nature of a project that depends on so many people . . .although i have given myself a project that will likely consume many wonderful hours of reading the entries so as to create the synoptic outline for the encyclopedia. great fun.
my favorite part of work is still the odd bits of translating i get to do. . . but i'm overall terrifically happy just being part of this project, and working in an institute devoted to research. . . gives me the illusion of being a real person in a romanticized version of the 'real' world. . .
writing a bit on the side. . . for upcoming issue of the columbia current. and recently published a short piece about austen in new voices, here
now if only i knew what comes after school . . . but i'll hold off thinking about that, for now
