Only one week of school left. Mercifully. This "teacher" needs a break before he strangles a student with his bare hands. I forgot how badly most students check out at the end of the year.

Michelle is officially out of town for the next 2 days. She is in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. So, it's just me, my dog, another dog that we were watching for a couple of days, and that's it. Me, my life is very very very boring right now ( Read more... )

Lately I seem to have a great attraction towards the *theory* of curiosity and learning new things, but the *practice* of such desires is giving me problems. Sure, it sounds like a great plan when I look at all of the books and stuff I want to read, but when I spend the night sitting around on TEH INTARWEB and don't get anything done, it's kind of ( Read more... )
