Heather&#039s out today with an impacted wisdom tooth that needs immediate attention, so it&#039s just me and Cthulu today at the office. Therefore, I haven&#039t bothered turning the lights on because it&#039s sunny and there&#039s more than enough light coming in the two large windows. I&#039ve e-mailed my class with the usual weekly events list, and I&#039ve done some other stuff but I can&#039t remember what. Oh, right, I updated my ISU webpage and got some stuff from the little sis when she swung by here earlier. Other than that, it has been catching up on e-mails and and phone calls all morning. Exciting.

I figure that I&#039ll eat lunch here at the office because I&#039m still not feeling 100%. I think my allergies are acting up really bad because I have a sore throat still, a headache toujours, and am generally tired as usual. I don&#039t have class until one, so I have some time to work on editing the advisor&#039s evaluation forms before moving onto flipping through another book for more article ideas for the prof pack I&#039m collecting for next fall&#039s Univ 101 classes. I really don&#039t want to teach &#034Tuesdays with Morrie&#034 ever again because it&#039s boring. It&#039s a decent book, but it&#039s so fucking boooooooring. I figure that a bunch of shorter essays and articles will be easier on the students&#039 brains anyway since many of them have never read a novel before and get scared at the very idea so they don&#039t read anything. Dense students. Here I am forever grateful to my older sis for teaching me to read when I was so young so that I now have the entire world at my fingertips through print, and most of my students treat books like they&#039ll get a disease from it. So sad. Oh well, here&#039s to trying to change something.

Cthulu just landed on his head upon climbing out of his plant. Silly snail. I really ought to get him some playmates. Random aside from Random Wooman.

So I&#039m going to wander off now to try and get this evaluation form done before this afternoon so I can waste an hour or two drawing more comics until 3:30 when I have to start calling students again. Hooray! If my job got any more exciting, I&#039d explode. Messy messy.
