Many of my ($600 worth of) textbooks came in today (from half.com, textbooks.com, and I'm still waiting for a few from barnesandnoble.com), so I made some space and put them on the shelf.  It was really nice that they came in, because the reading in at least 5 of them is due on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.  I put them on the shelf next to my thesis, maybe as some kind of reminder that I actually am capable of reading and writing an incredible amount of fairly original stuff.  Or maybe it was just the only emptyish place on the bookshelf.... 

P.S. My professors told me that I won't have a social life for the next 2 years and I should tell loved ones that I'll see them again in December, so yea.... ouch.
