Saturday is the Nigerian Independence parade. Sunday is the Chicago marathon.
I decided that I wanted to be self-indulgent, so I made guacamole for dinner.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've been getting collections calls for someone who has the longer version of my first name and same last name. I don't know if they're harassing everyone with a variant of the name or if I'm just lucky.
My day started too early and lasted too long and now I just want to watch Fringe but my damn digital converter isn't working. If I can't get the thing to reset in the next... 8 minutes it may find itself in the middle of the street.

I want a cocktail, but I am still on campus grading. But I will stop grading when Cody arrives here, and then we can go out and get a bite to eat. And then seeing Eddie Izzard tonight! Our first date in months.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

People, we are planning on Disney World the week of March 10. please start praying now.

It is taking me much longer than usual to grade work this year. Because I have 307 students. I cannot grade that many papers.
My AP students have been bitching about how long it takes for me to return homework, mostly behind my back to others. So I'm going to stop grading it, drop how much it is worth, use in class essays as 65% of their grade and be done What that means is instead of having grades padded by homework, they will suddenly have to stand on the strength of the writing. Which is worse for most of my students. Sorry. I'm not going to grade trifling things.
Ahhh... I'm going to go enjoy some Heliotrop wine.

I would make myself a cocktail but I'm waiting to get picked up to go to this reception. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Kat. That is so many students!

I had guacamole for lunch!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now I wish I had guacamole.

Oh Kat, I can't even imagine! I'd have to totally change my grading system.
So DH is here. Go Metro Rail!
