October 2016 in Review

Things that Happened in October

• First of all, is October really over already!! Where did October go?
• I had my first really bad glutening in quite some time yesterday. It was terrible. People have also been questioning my food choices which prompted this Twitter thread.
• As I am working on this, I have such a terrible headache that I hope this manages to look half-way decent when it posts.
• Grad school has been exhausting me on top of teaching and everything else I do.
• I just started a Facebook page for the blog but there isn’t a whole lot there yet.
• I didn’t get as much read as I should have this month. I am falling behind on grad school reading and ARCs.

My Favorite Book of October

It’s like:
“Go directly to Winter. Do not pass Fall. Do not play in the leaves. Go to Winter.”
I’m not playing seasons Monopoly here!

“Put no trust in princes, in mere mortals powerless to save … happy those … whose hope is in the Lord, their God.” ~Psalm 146:3,5

Tweets I Favorited in October

The Rosary is a prayer which always accompanies me. It’s also the prayer of ordinary people and the saints…and a prayer from my heart.

Things I’m Looking Forward to in November

•  Thanksgiving, even though I can’t eat any of the traditional foods… 🙁  It will be a nice break from my students though I know I will be working on graduate school stuff.
• Hopefully, no more glutening… like this is ever going to happen, but it would be nice.
• ADVENT STARTS SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Can you tell I am a bit excited?)

How was your October? What are you looking forward to in November?
