Nate Knows Nada

So the semester has started, and I am concentration advising in my
department.  I spent eight hours yesterday with my undergrad
advisees, helping them with course selection and so forth.

Then, on to evening prayer with the monks.  Then dinner with Luis.  And then home to pack, e-mail, and try to get life in order.

I have some complaining to do about wedding stuff and all, mostly
relating to feeling like I’m being reduced to simply being a magistrate
rather than being a friend who’s performing the functions of a
magistrate but who can add more and be something more than just a stand
in for a judge.  But I shouldn’t say too much right now, on the
eventuality that the parties whose wedding this is actuallyread this
between now and then.

Back to work!  I’ll try to update throughout the day and while I am in California.
