During the week I'm pretty busy with classes and RA stuff. Some weekends are pretty work-heavy as well. So, I often find myself wishing for a day or two with absolutely nothing to do, like a weekend with no work or duty. However, whenever such a weekend rolls around, I feel like a lazy bum and that I should be doing some work. I just can't win.

Okay, here's the deal. This is a letter to the dean about the exploits of a certain Nigerian professor who shall remain nameless. I have included lots of detail and examples just to be thorough. I need input as to what parts of the letter I should keep, shorten, and remove, or if it's even worth sending it at all. Am I making too much out of ( Read more... )

One and a half snowdays this week...Monday and Wednesday night. So, I still haven't had my Monday night class (since the semester started on a Tuesday). Going home tomorrow for my birthday. Heather's coming, too. Ikpah makes me want to lash out irrationally. Monday he'll bring in my folder from last semester to check my grade. I'll believe ( Read more... )

Yesterday, the sly cafeteria workers covered potato pierogies in tomatoe sauce and tried to pass them off as cheese ravioli. I should have known something was up when I noticed that the "ravioli" were particularly crescent-shaped that day.

I think it was "I Am, I Said" not "Solitary Man"

Last night I had a dream that my brother Mike, my sister Bonnie, and I attended a Neil Diamond concert. Hold on; it gets better. Neil wasn't on a stage, but rather just in the middle of the room. There were a few lines leading up to him and, after they heard one song, the people at the front of the lines would move to the back so the next people ( Read more... )

I'm tired and it's late (case in point: I almost wrote "I'm late and it's tired), but I haven't updated in about a decade so I'll just do a real quick recap and go into more detail in upcoming entries. For now, you'll get a random work/idea/event with a few of my thoughts following it ( Read more... )

The end is near. 1 final remains. It is at 2:45. So, I have exactly..uhh...little less than an hour to do it (it's 1:54 now). All in all, finals weren't too bad, just a pain. After I finish today, I still have to hang around until Friday, when all my subjects, err, residents depart. But Thurday and Friday should be sweet...not doing anything ( Read more... )

Two of my residents had their blue dry-erase markers stolen the other day. For the next couple days, they wrote messages on their board (I guess they had a back-up marker) asking for their marker back. Yesterday, I was walking down the hall and looked on their board and there was a sinister message scribbled on it in faded blue ink. It read ( Read more... )

Back from Thanksgiving break, which was quite enjoyable. The hard part was getting home. Only one of my 3 classes was cancelled on Thursday so I couldn't leave on Tuesday, or even just earlier on Wednesday (bc the cancelled class was my earliest one). Had another 1 of the 3 been cancelled, I would have just skipped the 3rd and gone home a day ( Read more... )
