Midterms have come and "almost" gone. I say "almost" because we still have to do the essay section for my Literary Criticism class next week. We were supposed to do it last Tuesday, but another class was going to a film festival and their professor requested their attendance. So, Dr. K agreed to do the closed book portion (10 questions - short ( Read more... )

Not a lot to report to be honest. Basically been going to work, going to class and then sitting around the house writing and listening to iTunes.

The Seminar in Drama class was cancelled tonight. I have to knock out a 3-5 page paper by Thursday on Trick the Devil. Last week, we did The Importance of Being Earnest, which was a fun play and M. ( Read more... )

Last night I went with my sempai, Chris, to go see They Might Be Giants in concert at Rams Head Live in Baltimore. I really had no idea what to expect, but the person Sempai had originally invited backed out, so I tagged along instead. I'm familiar with their music and I've liked what I heard, but I couldn't probably name more than three songs they ( Read more... )

Turned in my last assignment tonight for Astronomy Lab and spent some time talking with Professor Haxton while he was monitoring the others who were making up missed labs. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the college to post the grades for the semester (sometime next week, I hope) and I'll have almost officially ended my time at Howard ( Read more... )

On the writing front, I finished the review of the edits for Redshift yesterday, typed up my notes, retyped a few entries to make them semi-coherent and sent them off to Marco. Now, it's just a matter of waiting until the book comes out in October ( Read more... )

Last night was one of the first times we've been able to go outside when it was warm enough to enjoy using the telescopes. We set up the 8" Dobsian scopes on the plaza outside the class area and waited for it to get dark enough to really see the stars ( Read more... )

All right. Ravencon is coming up this weekend ( Read more... )

Well, I had my second test in Astronomy tonight. Tell the truth, I have no clue how I did. The test was strictly from the book. There was no reason for me to have taken notes the past few weeks, which is frustrating, since I tend to rely on my notes primarily. (My history professors never used the book. If you missed lecture, you were at sea ( Read more... )

Got home from work tonight in time to get the call from my history project manager. We reviewed the changes she wants made to the chapter. She'd like me to get this to her by Saturday afternoon so she can take it with her to a business conference she's going to next week. However, some of the changes she's looking for are going to take some ( Read more... )

Lots of time spent with family being lazy. Shopping, running around, eating out, just spending time together ( Read more... )
