Grades out. The professor who was the most inflexible about deadlines was naturally the last one to turn grades in, a week late.
Cryptography : B (deserved it, homework was good but final was terrible)
Language and Thought : A- (didn't deserve it, my final was six pages of nonsense)
Language and Gender : A (deserved it, that last paper could probably be made into a thesis)
Anime and War : B+ (deserved it, homework was mediocre but I'm proud of the last paper, the one I said was a love letter to space opera)
So, spending seven and a half hours a day doing quality control on my image file scans is... excruciating. I'm glad I have a different project for the summer.
Rotten morning today, but the rottenness hasn't stuck. Found that my front tire was completely flat, and then struggled for twenty minutes with the air pump while having my leg eaten by insects. Arrived at work sweaty, itchy, irritated, and late.
I haven't had a spare moment to go grocery shopping, so now that the mess hall is shut, I get to starve or spend ludicrous amounts of money on eating out -- really?! nine dollars for a crepe and coffee?! Once I move into my new place for good, I'm going to start packing sandwiches and a thermos to work.
I am in the process of wasting $200 on a Wii. Thankfully, I'm still allowed to work between the end of old payroll and the beginning of new, so I can pay for it without dipping into rent money. Wait... why the hell am I buying a Wii for $200 when I could be getting a gfx card and a motherboard for my new computer?! The world may never know.
It thundered all of yesterday evening, but didn't rain. It thundered again this afternoon, but I don't think it will rain either.
