A couple of weeks into the semester, and I'm in my usual position: snowed under with work. I have all sorts of administrative tasks this early in the semester, not to mention that I'm now in seminary and spent all last weekend at a class, and the weekend before at a conference in Atlanta, and every spare moment is spent studying Greek, and I'm covering a class for my dad next Monday that I have to prepare for, and am leading a small group at school I have to prepare for.

On the bright side, during preplanning, the faculty voted to amend the faculty's dress code to make coats and ties non-mandatory. Today, we got word that the President's Cabinet voted to approve our vote.

Yay! No more fashionable nooses around my neck! No more trying to decide whether a tie matches a shirt! No more buying shirts that I later realize I don't have a tie to match! Yay the end of a massive, MASSIVE headache!
