Well, 2008 is over. I find myself incredibly underwhelmed. I can't say I really care that it's a new year. I've been in kind of a funk the last few days; my mind's been going a mile a minute and I've been thinking about a lot of things ( Read more... )

So, my parents are in New York City until Sunday, and I'm taking care of my dog while they're away. She's been pretty good so far, except I didn't sleep, like, at ALL on Tuesday night when she came here. I'm consequently INCREDIBLY TIRED tonight, as I slept only about eight hours last night, so I'm still behind. It's 9:30pm and I'm going to go to ( Read more... )

The exercise will involve a person playing the role of an armed intruder who takes hostages inside the Willison Hall residence ( Read more... )

Well, my Thanksgiving was largely uneventful. We had dinner at the hospice where my Nana is living, and it was all of my dad's side of the family. I talked to my cousin Jenn a lot about Teacher's College/teaching and it made me feel largely shitty about the fact that I have little to no chance of ever getting in. So that was nice. I also played ( Read more... )

So the exam schedule just came out, and it turns out I have one exam.. and it's on December 5th.

That's like.. an entire month of vacation!

SWEET!
