daily update, Friday March 13
So, that sure was a day!
1. Long story short, rather than shifting to online classes, Cornell abruptly cancelled everything for the foreseeable future. Maybe they'll pick back up after spring break... or maybe do online-only classes after spring break... or maybe just write the whole semester off. Who knows! We sure don't!
Also they're kicking students out of on-campus housing (timeline super unclear, because of course it is) so everything in the local housing market is a complete mess as some students try to hurry home before travel restrictions may or may not set in, and others frantically try to arrange sublets for people who are losing their on-campus housing but not leaving Ithaca at this time.
On the upside, we rented two 1-bedroom apartments and two parking spaces, and the people who went on the afternoon rooms tour seem positive about renting in the next few days?
2. My haircut guy should be in tomorrow morning, so my plan to get a haircut is still on.
3. I might also be able to go to a Baroque music concert that I'd regretfully had to cross of my schedule due to the now-postponed wine-tasting event. As of right now, the concert is still on for tomorrow evening, and I'm sure I'll be able to buy a ticket at the door.
4. I've started posting my Three Sentence Ficathon works to AO3. So far, I have done 7 out of 72... or more accurately, 7 out of 66, since some of the stuff I wrote is original fiction rather than fanfic. I think I'm going to work a bit more on that this evening -- or perhaps on creating a comprehensive index file of all the fanfic items; the original fiction is just going on my usual end-of-year analysis file -- rather than write anything new. This just feels like an internet housekeeping day instead of a creative day -- or maybe all my creative impulses are currently going toward coming up with functional summaries for 66 individual tiny stories. *headdesk*
5. It looks like my hint of a sore throat from Thursday afternoon and evening was just lingering dregs of the Cold From Hell attempting a last-ditch resurgence due to my relative lack of sleep earlier this week. I got a solid 9.5 hours last night and felt just fine today, which is reassuring.
And now I will get started on some more of that internet housekeeping. *wry*
