Another interesting thing about being a grad student, is the paper assignments tend to be much more flexibly worded. We are expected to follow our own muse (Clio, preferably) and write something interesting.

I mention this because today I turned in my first substantial paper of the semester, and during a class break I talked about it with some of the other people that did that paper. (That is, the paper was for my Wednesday class, but it's a small world in grad school, even in a university with about 30k students. Over half the students in my Wednesday seminar are also in my Monday seminar.) Anyway, talking it over, we found we'd all taken extremely divergent tacks. Hopefully the prof likes the diversity.

And in other news, the old adage about "If you've lost something, retrace your steps!" does indeed work. It helps that our departmental offices are on the fifth floor of a building that is off the campus's main drag, so not many people wander by to disturb gloves that people like me have dropped on the floor.
