So as soon as I'm done typing this, I have to get dressed, make my sandwich and head out to my school. I am very, very excited and primarily filled with the deepest kind of fear. Perhaps some day I will no longer feel like I am going to throw up at the mere prospect of going to my job, but that day is not today, my friends. Oh, my, no. I have ( Read more... )

So I'm back from Nantucket and Rhode Island and what have you. I got the chance to see Clare, which was really nice, and of course my family. Poor Chum (my parent's dog) is slowing down a lot; he's got arthritis and he gets shots twice a week now. I start new teacher orientation tomorrow, and I still haven't gotten paid for the summer. We're ( Read more... )

So I'm visiting my family back in RI. I'm super, super exhausted and I've already pretty much used up all my social energy (my plane landed at two thirty) but I was wondering who was around in case I found some again.

This is alright with me, really. I mean, even, like, three years later I can make myself laugh out loud at my own cleverness. So basically, this is an entry about ( Read more... )

Whew, crisis averted. Also, I totally called Alabama over Marquette.

So BC, which I was expecting to romp to victory, is now embroiled in a double overtime with Pacific. If BC loses this, I'm more or less fucked. I hope the spirit of John Adams reaches in and helps BC win so he can be properly honored, as the stakes of our bracket dictate.

I now have over twenty-three pages of my BA done, or 7,882 words. I have sent it to the people in my group for review. There's still a lot of work to be done, but I have an actual real thing now, and it looks like by the time I have to turn it in for real, I will have a geniune BA that has been edited and possibly researched and stuff. I am ( Read more... )

I am amazing.

I just thought everyone should know.

And so, heartened by my earlier posting and commenting on two people's livejournals, I am actually kind of posting an entry ( Read more... )
