Grad school applications: stalled

I started today motivated about working on my grad apps, got frustrated with a cranky repairman, and then scrubbed my kitchen and installed a new blog theme.  (Let me know if anything is broken please!) I’ve got about two hours before a friend comes over for dinner and a movie. I could read a few papers and outline some possible projects, but I’d rather practice Russian. Maybe I’ll give myself an hour for both?
