Everything is going pretty well over here. Here;s a blake poem to make your day!
The Nature of Infinity
The nature of Infinity is this: That every thing has its
Own Vortex; and when once a traveller thro' Eternity
Has pass'd that Vortex, he perceives it roll backward behind
His path, into a Globe itself enfolding, like a sun,
Or like a moon, or like a universe of starry majesty,
While he keeps onwards in his wondrous journey on the Earth,
Or like a human form, a friend with whom he liv'd benevolent.
As the eye of man views both the East and West, encompassing
Its vortex, and the North and South with all their starry host,
Also the rising sun and setting moon he views, surrounding
His corn-fields and his valleys of five hundred acres square.
Thus is the Earth one infinite plane, and not as apparent
To the weak traveller confin'd beneath the moony shade.
Thus is the Heaven a Vortex pass'd already, and the Earth
A Vortex not yet pass'd by the traveller thro' Eternity.
It's beautiful. The end.

As for schools, it's UGA or nothing. The girl is keeping me in food and shelter, and her job is just close enough to Athens for us to live here. If I wanted to go anywhere else, she'd have to find a new job, and that would be difficult for a number of reasons related to the qualifications to teach high school and the way they vary from state to state.
If grad. school doesn't work out, I guess I can always go back to the cubicle farm. I could also sign on to a Japanese whaler and take up scrimshaw. I'm keeping my options open.
Anyway, I hope your own school endeavors are treating you well.
I hope there will be cake.
