It's been a cloudy week here, lots of soft gray days, some rain, and snow on Wednesday night. With all the streetlights and spotlights outside our window it was really beautiful, heavy flakes falling fast for at least an hour, but then they changed to rain. I think it's funny that this is actually the first snowfall I've seen this winter, despite my ten days in Nebraska.
First week of classes. I'm taking Semantics (more philosophy, yes) and a class called "History and Methodology of Linguistics" which will be interesting because of the prof and the other students. I'm not so sure about the subject matter, but I'm planning on writing a paper on the history of Lexical Semantics (was going to link to the Wikipedia page, but it's kind of worthless. LS is the study of how words interact and what that tells us about structure and meaning, basically, I'll know a lot more by the end of the semester.), so that will be fun. I'm also trying to organize my thesis, writing an outline right now, or at least I should be.
