Had A Good Day Today

It's getting to the end-of-semester workathon, and I took a big step toward easing that today by finishing a good portion of what needs to be accomplished in the next few weeks. I gave a class presentation (20 mins) on an obscure Congo burial practice, and then wrote another paper on a similarly obscure set of Kongo sculptures. That means roughly 1/2 of the major work is done - I just have to convert the presentation into a paper, and write yet another paper on a film from Burkina Faso (this is Africa semester, if you didn't know.)

Shewara's coming this weekend to hit up the Farmer's Market on Capitol Square with me - our two goals are the famous "Spicy Cheese Bread" and Hook's Cheddar Cheese. Tasty.
