I'm glad to know it still makes people laugh, Frankenbuddha.

Burrell, I've been meaning to tell you a funny little story, but I haven't seemed to be posting *with* you for a while.

Right before Spring break my creative writing professor had promised to get us back the Sestinas we had written. Well, he got sick (and actually came to teach sick, poor guy!) and didn't get them done. So, he brought a stack of envelopes and told us if we wanted them back before he saw us next to address an envelope, and he'd mail them during Spring break.

I was the only person to fill out an envelope. I turned it in to him but laughed and said, "Um...I guess I'm the only one that cares, so don't feel the need to rush to get it done on my account. I can wait till after break."

I clearly have very different expectations of both myself and professors. Sometimes those are good...sometimes, I'm starting to learn, they're a bit unreasonable (both for me and the profs).

I usually try for a two week turn around time on papers, but sometimes that doesn't happen.

Gronk. Need to get dressed and go to work now.

Shiny new digs.

I didn't realize this was your last semester. Go you! I bet your feelings are a combo of the baby and last semester wanting-to-just-get-it-over-ness.

I think you are exactly right. Part of my problem is that I'm not even looking for work because of the baby. (Hopefully, I'll be working early next year.) It makes school matter less when it's just academic at the moment. Anyway, while I like learning about the law, life events have really made me *not care* about reading for class or taking finals (which start in 4 weeks!)

I meant to post in LJ that I thought those pictures of Toto were absolutely adorable. He looked so cute!

In the Spring report: It's completely blue sky here - about 50 - but supposed to get to 74 today. There are trees and flowers blooming everywhere. I'm glad I got to see spring in Chapel Hill at least once - it's so pretty.

Kristin, you'll always be in my top ten :)

Awwwwww.

What tommyrot said! Awwwww!

Yes, this. Especially this year with my depression, I've really been struggling. I find that I can't grade well at night right now, so it really restricts my ability to get things back in a timely fashion. I'm really trying, though, and the kids have mostly been understanding about it even without knowing the cause (since I obviously can't tell them).

mornin'!

back at work. don't wanna.

Gronklies all!

It is the Tuesday following a four-day weekend. I need to be productive? That seems so wrong.

It will be warm here today. Finally.

Timelies. It is perfect Spring weather here. It's actually been too warm the past few days, but it's cooled off and is that lovely temperature wherein you can still wear a coat but you don't have to button it.

Wow, I can't believe I'm coming in the next morning and it's still below 200 posts.

Morning everyone!

FYI - White Chocolate Raspberry yoghurt is nummy.
