Filling my spare time

For the time this fall, I’ll head home today with a small batch of applications to read over the weekend.  Once the files are in my kitchen, I’ll need to remind myself to open them.  It’s easy to forget when they’re conveniently stowed in a bag in the corner.  It’s a whole different situation by February, when the stack of applications piled on a counter will call to me each time I pass by.  I’ve already read a few of the Early Notification applications, and they remind me how much I enjoy this part of my work each year.
