WAg - Today is “Borrowed Plot Device Day”
Ug…
I worked hard the end of last week to try to clear my schedule in preparations of the HECK WEEK!!!! (yes, I’d typically use the ol’ H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick-Special, but I’m really working on cutting down on my extremely limited use of curse words) that will come before finals.
Note: The name of HECK WEEK!!!! may change to something more potent depending on how certain projects turn out.
I did a lot of work over the weekend, but there’s a lot more work to go.
I have half a dozen half-finished posts I’ve been working on (ranging from Earth Day to an albino Zebra) and I may retroactively post some things, but for now I’m going to sample an old trick… look at what my favorite blogs are posting about and then copy their stuff.
Thus, for those of you who have already checked out my sister’s site, Life Is Like Toast, you will recognize…
Things That Have Made Me Feel Happy Today, Monday April 26th, So Far:
* I have all my English reading assignments finished through the end of the semester (take THAT Nathaniel Hawthorne!).
* I still have some Krispy Kreme doughnuts left over from my mini-staff retreat to Kansas City this weekend.
* I got a B on my last Internet Law test, which was a bit more than the class average.
* The mainstream press is starting to pick up on John Kerry pitching his military awards (medals, ribbons, whatever) in a demonstration – a ruckus I predicted would come out during the race back in February.
* I had a nice evening chat with my girlfriend.
* I don’t have classes till 11:00 a.m. tomorrow (good news on any Tuesday or Thursday).
* Despite a crazy schedule, I’m looking forward to seeing my sister perform in a one-act play on Saturday.
* Plans for the Cramer Cinco de Mayo fiesta are coming ahead of schedule (as in we’ve actually bought stuff).
* I had a nice bike across campus without encountering any hippies (unlike my trek through Peace Park during Earth Day, yesterday).
* New Strong Bad email.
* Reading Pygmalion this weekend has reminded me how much I need to buy the movie "My Fair Lady."
* The previous sentence earned a reading level grade of 9.1 largely due to the use of the word “Pygmalion” (which helped this sentence earn the full reading grade of 12.00).
* Further confirming snacking on dried fruit and Powerade is the perfect combination to stay away in an afternoon class.
* The latest edition of Entertainment Weekly came in today.
* I still have half a box of chocolate malted milk balls on my desk.
True, this has been a series of simple pleasures, but they’ve helped me make it through the day.
Hope you found as much joy, or even more, in yours.
