UPDATE: New Nest on Hiatus

Readers,

The demands of college life are quickly piling up.

I have somewhere around 200 pages of reading to complete, mounds of homework due by Friday, and a short essay I have to turn in tonight.

In addition, I'm trying to master the art of rowing, prepare for a marathon, run for the student assembly, have a job in the Office of Admission, maintain a semblance of a social and romantic life, and eat a healthy diet.

There are still phone calls I have to make, emails I have to answer, and photos I have to post, but academics always takes precedence. Thus, although I dislike it greatly, my family might be kept out of the loop over the next few days.

Whenever I was routinely burning the midnight oil earlier this year in preparation for AP exams, I would repeat this stanza by Robert Frost to myself in the mirror:

"The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,

but I have promises to keep,

and miles to go before I sleep,

and miles to go before I sleep."

Once I find my groove and a routine I can stick to, New Nest will return to its former glory. Count on it.

The Warmest of Regards,

Fred
