Woo hoo! It&#039s Friday! Well, it is for another four or five hours yet, but I figured I&#039d end my week of &#034detailing my days&#034 so that I feel like I&#039ve accomplished at least something this week, even if it is as piddley as updating my web page.

I got to drink my tea this morning at the library because the system was back up. The thing is that I wanted to drink my mint tea, so I did, but it has no caffeine, so I was pretty much dragging ass all morning. After work on authority records at the library, it was off to German 101 where I got my test back – 99%! Yay me! I got points taken off simply because I was misspelling things. I misspelled &#034Mittwoch&#034 (Wednesday) and &#034null&#034 (zero), and that was it. Yay me! I&#039m so proud of myself. 🙂

After German, it was off to the tutoring center where my first student showed up for about twenty minutes to talk about her presentation next week. She&#039s in my Univ 101 class, so I decided to treat it more as a professor-student visit rather than a tutor-tutee visit. After she left, I decided to give my brain cells additional rest by reading a fiction novel. I read it until about 12:15 when I had to stop to sign a student up for chemistry. I left after that and went to the Commons to have a soda while eating Munchies (as in the brand-name Frito Lay snack) and reading my book. Soon it was off to SMWC for my French class!

I love my French students. Today we talked about the French family structure and how the French are, in general, a fairly pessimistic people. We had a good discussion about French society and even how the author of the book writes with a rather biased tone, and they turned in their homework (to draw a picture showing the differences between Roman and Gothic architecture, to write a medieval lai, or to study a midieval poem), and they all did wonderfully. They&#039re so great! They have papers to turn in on Monday, and I&#039m sure they&#039ll all do splendidly. 🙂

After that, I was driving through West T when a large white van behind me honked and the driver leaned out shouting that my driver-side rear tire is low. I leaned out, and sure enough it was. Very odd. I stopped to take a look at it in a parking lot, but not knowing what to do with it exactly, I just drove home real slow so I could ask Ian when he got home. I was napping when he arrived and told him about the tire, then fell back to sleep until 6:30 or so. We chit-chatted a bit, he ordered pizza while I hopped in the shower, and once it arrived, we started eating. That brings us up to now. We&#039re watching the last Star Wars movie, and I&#039ll probably spend part of the evening playing games or reading because my brain really needs the rest. Since my pizza is getting cold, I&#039m ending now. Later!
