Hello all again! It seems that I've been woefully absent from my LJ the last while (and I was doing so well at keeping up too!). Life just seems to have gotten the best of me this last month or so. I somehow managed to rack up $200 in deductions from just marking and tutoring on my last two paycheques. That's a bit scary to think how many hours I ( Read more... )

So it's been quite the week. The most notable event being that I caught a student cheating while administering an intro calc test. And the worst part was that the student wasn't making any effort to hide her cheat sheet that she was using. Now she has to face a departmental review committee and a university disciplinary committee. And all for the ( Read more... )

And finally there's some good news. I am quite excited at the moment. I'd be more excited if I hadn't previously been in such a horrible mood which still has some residual lingering. But give me an hour and I'm sure that   I'll up my status to elated. So, by the end of last week, it seemed that my chances of being allowed to do an honors project ( Read more... )

And so a new weekend has begun and all I can say is, hooray!!! I had the most excellent time sleeping in this morning. All cozied up in the duvet, kitty sleeping by my side. Pure heaven! I swear sometimes the promise of being able to hop back into bed at the end of the day is reason enough to get up in the morning ( Read more... )

I'm in a back and forth kind of mood lately. I have to say that I'm getting more and more worried about what's going to happen next year with school. It seems like they're days away from canning the honours project which I've been dreaming about doing ever since I started at the university. And they were trying to tell me earlier that I could ( Read more... )

So my expedition to the local yarn store LYS at Ram Wools has been completed and it was heaven in a hand basket. %30 off everything in store. A knitters dream. My only regret is that I had to buy a pattern book for a hat I wanted to make which cut into my yarn buying capacity. Even then I still spent a lot. You have to be a knitter to appreciate ( Read more... )

All I have to say is, that was FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! Let's do the time warp again!!!!!

Today went by ridiculously fast. Seriously, I have no idea where the time went. Did some tutoring in the morning. Some not so normal stuff. It was from the History of Mathematics prior to AD 1640 and we were solving area questions using a babylonian method. It was... different. Then I had my Rings and Fields class which is always lots of fun. The ( Read more... )

Just when I'm having a nice week, my dentist comes along, takes it all away and gives me a pretty good reason to never believe a thing he says. So I broke a tooth back in December and he wouldn't fix it until now. I finally get my appointment, expecting a root canal which is bad enough. He pokes around a bit and tells me that he can't do the root ( Read more... )
