Today is the last day of the first half of the last semester of my grad coursework. Aka, it's midterms! And its the last day of me being on campus before my spring break begins! Here's what I wore to help administer student exams this morning. I'll also be wearing it to do some archive catalog searching at the VFL, and then to Diablito's (the New ( Read more... )

Yesterday Casey and I got haircuts, and today I spent way too long at office depot perusing their awesome organizational STUFF and school supplies. I thought about getting bangs, but when we got there I chickened out. I am pretty pleased with how nice the layers and such came out though - Nichole does a really good job and she really listens to ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was finally selected for Jury Duty. They called my number right away, I got to hear the basics of a case and answer some related questions, and then wasn't selected for the jury. It seemed like an interesting case, but the lawyers were horrendously bad public speakers, and it frustrated me that they were each so terrible at their job. I ( Read more... )

Another day, another way to wear my new orange wedges. And another afternoon spent in my office reviewing and learning French. I've been really throwing myself into creating lists and charts and review sheets to master the lessons we've covered recently.

So my family is coming in today! YAY! Here's what I'm wearing to teach in this afternoon before my family arrives.

I haven't had internet in my apartment since Saturday. ARG Charter. They're finally coming tomorrow to fix it. It's amazing though how much extra time there can be in a day when you can't go online.

Speaking of extra time, today was my last day of waking up and having nothing I really needed to do all day. I <3 Summer, and since my advisor ( Read more... )

I am about to leave for school, and just realized I'm wearing a butterfly brooch and a ponytail. I think I look adorable today, but let's just hope my students take me seriously. ;-)

Danielle was here this weekend! And we had so much fun! See?

I don't have class today!!!!
This is good. I wishity-wish-wish Fall Break also applied to my Thursday theory class though. Now that we're into Structuralism and Postmodernism, I kind of want to die. I don't know that I can bring myself to read the assigned Postmodernism for ( Read more... )
