Namaste
Read every article on Lostpedia, even the stupid ones. Got exactly 25% of my end-of-semester work done. (Due 01/08/06) Faculty lunch. I had the salmon. Won a coffee mug, tea chest, and coffee. Donated coffee to front office. Listened to long winded principal give one of his speech/half-corherrent-rambles that was time consuming even by his normal standards of verboisty. Weasled out of gathering at Principal's house. Came home. Set alarm to "off." Got paid. Did not go Christmas shopping, even though I've given exactly two presents out so far.
