1. Wednesday’s class went very well, bringing my record to 2-0 this week. I think this means I will most likely crash and burn tomorrow, which will be sad because we’re talking about my specialty: lunatic asylums! I have a knack for sucking all the fun out of the most interesting of topics, what can I say?
2. I had to be a baddie yesterday and refuse to accept two late papers. Fortunately, I am studying and working at a school where the students are renowned for submission to authority. I didn’t even have to attempt to apologize for adherence to the rules I’d set out at the beginning of the class where late assignments were concerned. Score!
3. Just when I was starting to silently congratulate myself on making it through the hottest part of the summer without air conditioning, the heat came back. Fortunately, we have to sweat through only one more night before skipping town for the weekend, and coming back to cooler temperatures. Here’s hoping for 85 and below the rest of the summer. Knock on any wood you see, would you?
4. My back is improving, and I’m trying like hell to remember to stretch several times a day. The exceptional stiffness in the morning says I could use a new pillow, but Spouse is probably ahead of me in the pillow-deserving line. Maybe one of these days we’ll get all our needs taken care of.
I will also need another dress shirt, as I have spilled Vulcan blood on it today. I must stop chewing on pens.
That’s it! Cayenne pepper spray on Spouse’s pens!
I have to stop and get Dad a dress shirt on my way home today. Tell me the size and I can pick one up for my excellent Son-In-Law as well………long sleeved, right?
Moooooommmm! We’ll take care of Spouse’s unfortunate pen-chewing problem… Besides, Spouse has very specific tastes as far as dress shirts go, and if I can’t be trusted to pick out a shirt he’d like wearing, no one can.
Aren’t the libraries AC’d at ND? I spend my entire day in the library. I’ve had my AC on twice as many nights (like 6) this summer as I did the whole of last summer.
It’s true, I could seek shelter in the chill of any building at ND, but that would involve me biking to get there, and I’d have to be all uncomfortable with my backpack and everything. So I’m sweating it out.
