Scott made a few of us, Jamie, JJ, and me, dinner last night. He made this awesome chicken cacciatore and salad and bread and it was really really good. When we were shooting around emails trying to get the thing planned Jamie had sent the following:

Scott,
Just tell me when it is and I'll bring my lame ass over.

Jamie

To which I responded:

I need a break from the exhausting task that is creating a review session for my kiddies who are having their first exam in Psyc 50 on Thursday. In an attempt to get them to start studying before Wednesday night at 10 pm I have demanded that any questions over the material be referred to me by 10 pm on Wednesday and that while I understand they ( Read more... )

Well another weekend, another set of football games.

Apparently pigs can fly because North Carolina beat Georgia Tech in an upset game on Saturday night. I didn't get to go to the game because I had WAM rehearsal but JJ called when he heard the final score and I was in shock. Go Tar Heels! On the tails of losing to Virginia last week (and it ( Read more... )

As if there weren't enough reasons for me to hate living in a college housing community that is overrun by undergrads ... my new neighbors this semester appear to be the quintessential partiers who study during party breaks. I say this because it is currently 1 am and their music is playing so loud my walls are vibrating. I'm tired ... and I'm ( Read more... )

On Tuesday I commited my first serious error in teaching. I gave my students the wrong information. Before you all get into the "You should be double checking your information before you give it to your students" let me point out that I got the complete data set, on which I was supposed to run analyses that day, at 10:45 that morning. I teach at ( Read more... )

The last couple of weeks have been rough ones for me. To say the least I've been plagued with a bunch of health issues on top of my regular busy-ness. Today was essentially the last straw. But as the day wore on I heard more and more about myself through music. And well, it's been a crazy day for me and my music. I love music more than almost ( Read more... )

I have this student that keeps calling me Amy. She emails me and says "Hi Amy" ... she sees me in class and asks "Amy can you help me with this?" The funny thing is that when I respond to her emails, my name shows up where it says "Sender" as "Angela Wong" and when I sign my name I sign it "Angela". She still insists on calling me Amy. It's ( Read more... )

It's football season. The NFL officially kicked off on Thursday with the Colts v. the Patriots and this afternoon I watched the Steelers take on the Raiders. Call it JJ's fault but I am now fascinated by the way this game is played. It's Josh's fault, too. And anyone else who ever tried to convince me to watch football. Because now I do and I' ( Read more... )
