So I survived my dental surgery! Largely unsurprising, perhaps, but I'm still relieved. See, in my consultations with the dentist and then the oral surgeon (since there was no way in hell I was getting this done under local anasthetic only, I opted for the latter), scary words like "nerve damage" were bandied about a little more freely than I ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when?!" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ( Read more... )

This morning, I was sitting on my bed, chatting on the phone with Tiffany, when I happened to glance behind the door and noticed a MUSHROOM growing in my/Bryan's room!

Today was a pretty exciting day...I gave my last presentation for the semester (only one more paper to write, and courses are officially over!), I took a new bus route home (and saved 75 cents by not taking the O-Train), and the government tried to steal $59.25 from me (but I got them to promise to give it back). Most importantly, however, my ( Read more... )

I feel like I should post 'cause I haven't in a while...and also, my selection of possible activites at the moment includes a) continue sitting in the TA office (looking busy by typing stuff), and b) go to the library and pick up books (for a paper that was supposed to be due April 7th, but is now due April 27th). I think the winning choice is ( Read more... )

Dear students,

If you copy-paste large sections of Wiki articles into your paper, and then try to cover them up by referencing unrelated websites, I will notice...I do have access to the internets, you know.
