I feel I should just go really far
Cyprus?
The students finished their exam. Most of them were quite displeased. Apparently somebody started a rumor that a certain topic (that they only covered with the professor, not with me) would not be in the exam, and one question was about just that topic, so most of the students had a problem with it, and were frustrated (they really worked hard during the whole semester, poor things). Yesterday I specifically said that this subject may be in the exam, but apparently, without enough authority or something. Sigh.
And now, to write a paper for my "History and Philosophy of Science" class. I can't remember when was the last time I had to write a paper that wasn't supposed to have even a single equation. Also, this one is supposed to be short. The lecturer demanded that we use the word-count of Word to make sure our answers to each of the 2 questions wouldn't be over 750 words. I am, however, the opposite of concise. I've used more words than that to not-even-begin some posts over in the "Firefly" thread. I'm probably going to write everything, then start to cut out most of it (and if an equation slips in, that too). We'll see.
[Edited to dis an un]
I read an article on post-disaster tourism somewhere. Don't know where.
I should go move my car before it gets another ticket. I have 3 unpaid ones (to the university. What are they going to do? Prevent me from getting my transcripts? ) Some people have multiples of 10.
But I'm half convinced I'll be the one person they tow.
ita, you're on the West Coast now. You must go to Hawaii.
And I've been meaning to tell you-- Jamaica was great. I wouldn't go back to the windy side, but I've never been anywhere with such consistently pleasant temperatures. People were nice, too.

bon bon! It's been forever since I posted with you! How are you doing?
Good, Nilly. It's good to see you too. I'm actually working normal hours and my anxiety level has decreased to "sporadic" from "ever present."

The windy side? Where did you go?
Hawaii is about the only US beach destination on my list, but I'm damned tired of not branching out.
Dozens of countries at talks organized by the U.N. World Tourism Organization finalized a plan to lure back tourists to four nations hit by the giant waves ? Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Indonesia.
Excellent!
ita, you speak French fluently, correct? How about Mont St. Michel?
Wow, Matt. That's gorgeous. I might indeed dust off my French for something like that.
Say, howsabout Madagascar? I understand that French is commonly used there, it's supposed to have good scuba diving, and it has lots of lemurs!
