But not nearly so bad this time. I got a cold while I was in Pittsburgh, and I should be 100% by Monday ( Read more... )

I really haven't. It's not that life's been dull or tragic; it's just that I didn't feel like typing up the minutae. It happens from time to time with the worst being that March a few years back when I didn't post for over a month ( Read more... )

The second EU Open House happened yesterday. It was much better organized this year. They seem to have learned from all the crowd control problems last year. The embassies have actually made it into a two week long event with cultural exhibits and demonstrations happening at various embassies. May 17, 22 other embassises are having a separate open ( Read more... )

The big net conference day is over. The two conferences both went well over all. My part was probably better in the morning because by the time we got to my part in the afternoon net conference, I wasn't sure if I was using real words any more.

My statistics class has been rather uninteresting the first two days. I'm already extremely familiar with the information he covered, and I know some of what he's covering next class.

I also don't want to unpack everything as though I would be ( Read more... )

Last post from Clemson. Mom and Dad will be here in less than an hour to help me move my stuff back home. I made a B in one of my classes, and the other grade isn't up yet. I'm so glad to be done with teaching. Only 3 of my students failed, and they all deserved it. Looking forward to Christmas festivities at home. Let me know if you want to get ( Read more... )

I'll be back in Baton Rouge either late on the 17th or midday on the 18th, and I'll be there for the foreseeable future as I have not yet found a job. I will be going to the Music City Bowl in Nashville after Christmas because a bunch of guys from the department are meeting up to party for a few days and go to the game. When we went to buy our ( Read more... )
