More from the Geography files:
Keith: So is Dorchester a neighborhood of Boston like Dedham?
Me: Well yes, but Dedham isn't. That's its own town.
Keith: Oh. What about Suffolk?
Me: Well, that's the county.
Keith: Oh. Good thing I'm not a GEOLOGY major. (my emphasis)
Best part: He's currently taking GEOGRAPHY 100.
Might as well toss a brief update in while I'm here.
Sememster is winding down. Rushed as always to finish and turn in missing work. Had a great sememster of the Equinox. I love being an editor so much, I moved into the office. Actually, my computer broke. Again. So I only have late-night internet access if I stay late in here. Sometimes if I'm writing a paper I even end up crashing on the couch. Yeah. Real healthy.
Other classes? Who knows. I gotta write some paper for Macro. Soon. Before soemthing bad happens. History who knows. ESEC...I finally took the Praxis test today, in Lebanon. Borrowed Sammi's car and drove up at 6:30 this morning for the computerized test. Ridiculous. I did well though. According to this test, I'm smart enough to teach in any state. Maybe even twice in Mississippi. Kidding. But boy do they have low standards.
Been volunteering at the Keene Y, helping with belaying at three climbing classes and this other multiactivity program Friday nights. I will have accumulated my 15 hours just in time for the sememster's end.
Put up a $4200 photography equipment purchase in front of the Equinox Executive board, explained everything and why we need it. Got approved. I'm pumped. I have so many great ideas for how to use this stuff...I hope I have a bigger staff in the spring so we can make it worthwhile.
Shot some BW film the other day. Once I order the chemistry at work, I'm gonna start printing in my bathroom. I hope.
End of the semester, time for books. It hasn't been busy yet, but I see the onslaught on the horizon. Most of finals week will be spent accumulating books. Sweet. I'm already stockpiling boxes. This will be a real chore without a computer.
Ok. This building closed an hour and twenty minutes ago. I'm going to bed.
