I'm starting to think that taking two classes over five weeks was perhaps not the most plausible idea I've had to date.... I can't seem to ever quite catch up with reading or math hw, and I've never had a problem with readings before... but the sheer volume of the CH reading compressed into a five week course means three chapters a week with all ( Read more... )

I like how moving the bookcases opened up the room, but jamming my toe on sharp corners where there were previously none just plain smarts. I swear the toes on either side are bruised out of pure sympathy.

I'm in the middle of reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and thus far it's fairly interesting. Good refresher on cell biology, too ( Read more... )

Today I did Random Household Psuedo-Cleaning* all morning because I could not face doing any more English homework#.  Then I got an e-mail from the library that my holds were in and I remembered that the eight things I'd checked out were going to be overdue tomorrow$.  So that gave me a good(er) reason to put off English, at least long enough to ( Read more... )

Had a good weekend (was gone for 3/4 of it). Elko was fun, haven't been there in years. Stayed in Stockman's, not bad but the room was red. A little creepifying. And the weather was mostly good. No pictures of the concert, but I took some on the drive homeI spent a lovely nice morning taking apart the bench on my front porch as the wood slats badly ( Read more... )

And I am so happy that it did. It's been really, really awful here for close to a month. Most days our air quality has actually sucked worse than L.A.

Maybe the ( Read more... )

Still not dead. Not quite alive at the moment - a headcold came out of nowhere this afternoon and BAM with the sinus ache and general yuckyness. But, at least all I have to do tomorrow is work, and then I can go home and stay there all evening. This exites me muchly as generally Mondays are my suckiest night class wise. Actually, Mondays are just ( Read more... )

No Russian tonight, so I'm puttering around in the computer lab until orchestra starts.

No real news here. Pretty much status quo right now. Work, class, sleep. Later, rinse, repeat.

Oh, we have a concert on Friday. And for a kids event, the music is killer. Two rehearsals for Night on Bald Mountain, Water Goblin, two movements of the LOTR ( Read more... )

...Doesn't that mean it should be, like, spring? Because if I wanted day after day of overcast weather and cold, wet stuff falling on me, I'd have moved to Seattle. Seriously, as much as I hate July and August in Nevada, a little warm, sunny weather would be awfully nice ( Read more... )

Well, I have some serious eyestrain, and my bow arm hurts like a mother, but that little ordeal is offficialy in the past tense. Freaking marathon gigs preceeded by freaking marathon rehearsal, and that after a lesson. My blisters have blisters ( Read more... )
