(no subject)
I think I've officially switched from being a pseudo-Jewish-mother to a psedu-Jewish-grandmother (possibly from the southeast U.S.)... 'cause in the dorm I now have: 1/2 loaf bannana nut bread (made from scratch), approx. 15 cups from-scratch chicken noodle soup (which is slowly being frozen into 3-cup rectangles to be given to those on campus who keep kosher or halal if/when they get sick), kale (approx. 4 servings), extra-garlicky mashed potatoes (approx. 3 servings, also from scratch), chicken (1 serving), fish (1 serving), and a lentil-kale dish (3 cups, frozen). Okay, really only the soup and bread are grandmother-ish, but damn...I cooked a LOT of food.
As for other uses of time this break (not discussed in the previous entry)...I
* wrote one piece that I'll probably submit to the Flat Hat,
* figured out what I can do for the next Progressive (which requires talking to the OMA and to Julian),
* did a bunch of computational work in lab (which I'd be continuing now Roger's network were up),
* got some work done for the King/Parks/Wilson tribute (though should revise that press release now),
* got books for the history paper due Tuesday (though now need to read one of them and write the paper),
* was a token college student at a highschool GSA meeting,
* got my glasses fixed (FYI for W'burg people: there's a glasses place near Target, which is probably the closest to campus you'll find, and they fixed my glasses for free),
* got new shoes (since the sole of one of the old ones is mostly detached from the rest of the shoe), and
* organized the monstrous stacks of paper that had been building in my room, including the bulging folders of important-papers-to-keep. That last was organized into separate folders for academic records, pay stubs (with WM and Beth El separate and both sorted by date with anything older than Dec. 2004 thrown out), old taxes, bank statements, college loan paperwork, and random papers that don't fit another category (e.g. my birth certificate, my dad's living will). This makes me ridiculously happy.
That sounds like more than it is when listed this way - really, it's been a pretty darned lazy week.
Oh, and you can read my article in the most recent Progressive by downloading it here. It's basically a modified version of what I submitted to one of the programs for which I applied.
