Straight As this semester!! I love how I got 101 percent in my multicultural lit class. Makes me giddy like high school. :D ( Read more... )

I am feeling incredibly frustrated today. Mostly because I specifically told T and Y that I could NOT meet on June 3, even explained that it was for medical reasons, yet they scheduled our orientation meeting for June 3. Which also happens to be when T is in Boston. So we are now facing the exact situation that we were trying to avoid, where ( Read more... )

I ordered new contacts from 1-800-Contacts yesterday, since I ripped the hell out of my last pair. Nothing like desperation to get me to pay $20 for next-day delivery.

HOWEVER. Today arrives. There are no contacts. I am unhappy. Wait--I am UNHAPPY. If I were Kurt Smash, I would be smashing things right about now.

So I get brave. I write them an email ( Read more... )

The computer says it's raining, but I don't think it's rained at all today. Then again, I haven't been outside, and I haven't even looked out the window. All I know is that the light is gray.

I went for a 2.75 mile run (it was a killer). I made the most DELICIOUS salad for lunch: spinach, scallions and strawberries with roasted asparagus pieces and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. I ( Read more... )

So unmotivated today. I slept for 11 hours last night and then spent another 3 hours in bed this morning, poking around on the computer and reading Jane Eyre. Managed to get myself up for a run this afternoon (2.5 miles, although I was hoping for three--this is what happens when I don't map it out ahead of time) but then came home and read on the ( Read more... )

"Dear Dana,

Thanks for your patience regarding my review of the draft of your critical essay for 629. I think that it is a model of what I hope students can create for this assignment, and I have no major suggestions for improvement."

SUH-WEET. I'm going to do the course evaluation right now (if I can ever find the darn thing online), proofread my ( Read more... )

Doing somewhat better. I spent the whole day at the office yesterday and finished student meetings (except for one more next week), did all of my reading and lesson planning for my last methods class next week, wrote the study guide and final exam, and am now 99% done for the semester. SRSLY ( Read more... )
