Uuurgh...

Well, the countdown is definitely getting into the interesting numbers. I leave on Tuesday at noon-ish, and to judge by my intinerary, I'll spend the next two days meeting every one at the university up to and including the janitorial staff. Which is good, actually, since the more people one meets, the more sense of a place one gets. I've pulled together something like a lecture--need to flesh it out a bit, but I've got Montaigne and skepticism and the nature of error in a humanistic/comic universe and all kinds of fancy stuff to bring in, so maybe they'll come away thinking of me as something other than a complete f***ing idiot. I have to admit, I really am still a little thrown by the change of topics. I mean, I know the play I've been assigned--I can do it. It's just that my head was so very into the other play that I'm still pulling it into the proper sphere (or out of the improper orifice, if you want to get smutty, and shame on you if you do.) Anyway, I may post over the next couple of panicky days, I may not. Ora pro me...
