My faith in humanity was a little bit decreased today.

*sigh*

I have 47 papers to mark, with a goal of finishing them by about noon tomorrow. I have marked exactly 0. As it is 16:00, if I want a proper night's sleep of about 8 hours, I have to mark about 4 per hour. I guess I don't really have to sleep tonight. But I do so enjoy it.
Anyway, I'm running out of ways to procrastinate so I guess I'd better ( Read more... )

For various, undisclosed reasons, I've decided to give up beer for awhile. More specifically until the end of March. I started on Wednesday. It's going to be a long couple of months. I already miss my dear, sweet, frothy beverage. As a great man once said, "There isn't a man, woman or child who doesn't enjoy a tasty beverage ( Read more... )

While defrosting something in the microwave this evening, I accidently opened the microwave while it was still on. I then panicked about cancer and cancer-related things and proceeded to call every member of my family (they live in three different cities) until I got ahold of one of them. Basically I needed confirmation that I hadn't just ruined my ( Read more... )

So the last debate of the -a-thon is coming to an end. I have returned to the lab since my first participant of the day is coming in about 10 minutes. I think I banked a total of 40 minutes of sleep over night. I don't see myself making it to class today - even if it IS from 5-7 in a pub (I do love grad school). It was a fun night but I am glad it ( Read more... )

I've had some pizza and lay's and seem to be a bit revitalized. But the current round is dry, very dry. Something about the security council and veto power.
A custodian is walking by with a floor waxer. I didn't know campuses (campi?) were alive at this hour. I hope he's payed well.

I think maybe it's time for a nap.

1:48 - all speeches are somehow incorporating penis jokes.

It's 12:30 and I am still on the University of Ottawa campus which I have been at since early this morning. Why? Because I am dating a debator. More specifically? Because I am taking part in the "24 hour debate challenge" or debate-a-thon. That's right, 24 hours straight of debating. For a good cause, mind you (raising money for the Tsunami victims ( Read more... )

I had a dream the other day that I was playing a game of chess with Michael. The dream was move by move from beginning to end (yes, I do realize how thrilling this is). No problem understanding why I dreamed about chess (thanks ___blank___). But what I want to know is, why didn't I win? It's bad enough that I ( Read more... )

I just bought long johns! Now my legs won't hate me when I skate to school!
