As I was puttering into school on Wednesday morning, sometimes I wonder if everything I see is being accurately represented by my brain. I mean, usually spend all day at school Tuesday, and then stay at my sister's apartment working until 11 or 12, then get up and out early and without coffee on Wednesday. That is just a recipe for hallucination.
Anyway, the traffic light as I'm entering Yellow Springs changes from red to green as I'm approaching. There are two lights present at that intersection (though only one lane) and one was slightly delayed from the other in changing. I immediately thought of a lazy-eye, or Pixar blink. It is just fitting, because that is how I feel every Wednesday driving in the dark of winter morning. Also, school is in high swing now and everyone is whining about classes, papers, tests, and presentations. I could also whine, but, that would just belabor the point and increase whiny butt attitudes.
Instead, I choose to look at it in the way that in 5 weeks, I'll have lived though my first semester as a professor, and I'm still alive, health (knock on wood), and doing fairly well in my grad school classes. Therefore, I've reached my first semester goals (as of this point).
This does not say that every class has been award winning, perhaps none have been award level, but that's ok. I'm a noob.
Also, other life updates, I finally finished patching and painting all of the nail holes in our house, our porch is 99% finished, I cleaned (but no uncluttered) my office, and I think Thelma is loosing some weight. We don't want a diabetic kitty...
However, some negative news: my surround sound receiver keeps dropping audio when watching TV. NOT COOL! Also, I have do landscaping on Saturday. I loathe gardeningish things, but, it needs to be done and will hopefully look nice.
and as always...
