My Weird-Ass Curse Strikes Again
On Friday, I was putting on my gorgeous blue silk robe my sister brought me back from Vietnam when the belt flew up and hit me in the eye. It left me with a 2-3 millimeter abrasion over the pupil of my right eye (apparently, the pupil is the most painful place to get an abrasion) that I had to go to the emergency room for (and to the optometrist ( Read more... ) -
The Best News I've Heard in Forever
About nine months ago, I started a new job as the Evening Circulation Supervisor for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's library (that title is a fancy way of saying I make sure the students do their work and that the circulation department doesn't get too far behind in their work). I spent the first two months being badly trained, the third ( Read more... ) -
My nerdiness
How nerdy is it to now have the goal of not only having a library in my future permanent residence, but also a corner in it for a really nice chessboard? I think I've been reading too much X-Men: First Class fanfic. -
Can I never relax?
So I finished my thesis on Sat. 192 pages, 42 over my goal. Now I just have to get it by my thesis advisor, thesis committee, and defense, and I'll officially have a Master's Degree. Tomorrow I have a day of grading Midterms, finishing observation reports, emailing a professor, and lesson planning ahead ( Read more... ) -
Thank God for Chocolate
In one week, it will be Spring Break and the beginning of my semi-crappy year. I went to Blackfriar's Theatre in Staunton, VA for a class (it was awesome, and I'm going again, but that's not really a part of this right now). While I was there, I found out that my sister was sitting in the city center of Christchurch, New Zealand when the earthquake ( Read more... ) -
I slept! Now I gotta do it twice!
Amazing how well a day goes when you finally get some sleep. I got stuff done without feeling like I'm in a fog all the time. It rocked.
Now I have to do it again.
And I didn't need milk. I just needed my teddy bear. No, I'm not five. -
Insomnia, insomnia, go away
So damn tired of being so damn tired. I subbed for a friend today and fell asleep while showing a movie in class. I was going on about 4-5 hours of sleep, but still ( Read more... ) -
Weirdest Two Days I Ever Had (And I've Had Some Weird Ones)
So, a really long time ago I was living with a die hard Republican whom I did not get along with. In order to piss her off, I flaunted my liberalism in her face. What made it incredibly easy was that it was the year "Brokeback Mountain" came out,so I bought the story-to-script book, blasted the soundtrack, and made a lot of noise about going to see ( Read more... ) -
Grad School's Starting
So year two in grad school officially started today. I don't have any classes to teach or take until Wed., which means I am officially trying to get everything ready last minute for my classes. I have to read a lot of literary criticism, print off a lot of stuff, organize everything so the day goes smooth, go grocery shopping, get my hair cut, and ( Read more... )
