Aieeee!

So I had a bunch of exams still to grade but not really a whole lot so I spent the morning trying to grade and respond to e-mails and help get organized for the Major Fair today but all that was kinda hard to do at the same time and then I had a student come in and chit-chat for about an hour or so about random stuff like tea and phobias and teaching English in high schools and Dr. Perrin Continue reading →

BITCHFEST

Yeah, getting a new fish (post later, and reasons why it’s later will come soon) and some new stuff for the fish tanks Sunday morning was cool. Visiting with the in-laws Sunday was awesome ’cause this is the first time they have ever seen any of the places we’ve ever lived, and they like Kitty and liked the food (which I cooked, for some odd reason). Even hanging out with a Cooper’s hawk on Continue reading →

I found some treasure!

I had to brush my teeth over the cat this morning again. If she weren’t so tall or if she would just lie down, it wouldn’t be as much of a problem. I didn’t even mess with washing my face because regardless of how much water I drip on her, she won’t move. Crazy cat. But I did get some nice cuddle time with her after the alarm went off. I think she just wanted under the covers because I’m Continue reading →

I’m going to bed after this post

I spent all of yesterday at work and part of the evening grading papers. After finally getting done with those around 9:00, I had the midterm exam to write. Four of them, actually. Two for each class. The first I write has all the questions for one class, then I copy and paste the mess in a different order in another document. Test A, test B. Rinse and repeat for the second class. Enter Continue reading →

@#$%^&*?! thesis time

First off, I think I might be making myself sick or something. Things have been heating up at work thanks to the Majors Fair next week in addition to that “First Year Retention” committee I’m on plus the fact that this week I’m giving a midterm so I have to get that written plus graded in addition to all the rest of their homework so I can get those back soon as well as figured into their Continue reading →

Google rankings and tea

Adagio teas, the website where I have been getting almost all of my teas lately as well as where my IngenuiTea is from, has this promotion where you put a link to them on your website and they send you a free sample based on your Google page rank. So a rank of 0-2 gets a single sample, a rank of 3-4 gets a four-pack of tea, and a rank of 5 or more gets a four-pack of tea plus an Continue reading →

Halloween decorations

Well, I’ve got some decorating for Halloween done both at home and at work. I’ve decorated more at the office because there are more people who come through here than at home. I have two things that Aunt Pamela gave me: a spooky ceramic crypt and a ceramic skull. I picked up a few little things at CVS recently: a black plastic basket with pumkins on it as a candy dish, a Continue reading →

Today was not a day for sleeping in

It starts around six, I think. Kitty wakes me up, yowling in my ear and crawling all over me. Rather than fight with her for the covers or for my rightful spot next to Ian, I decide instead to get up and go to the bathroom, a move which often dupes her into following me so that when I’m done, I can run back into the room and get my spot back. After going to the bathroom, however, she doesn’t Continue reading →
