Yesterday my very good friend, the lovely and talented Autumn, and I went to a spa for massages. It was fabulous!!! I felt so good and relaxed that it was wonderful. We had good conversation, good feelings, and generally good good good.
Love you Autumn!

Update
Then yesterday a colleague came in and asked if I had finished our data collection yet (please note the posting from Friday early am) and I said are you freakin' kidding me? Seriously, are you freakin' kidding me?
F***ers. I was GRADING. I will get to the data AFTER I BREATHE FOR ONE FREAKING DAY.
Then my head exploded because I couldn't find peanut butter in the Albertsons. I worked at a grocery store for 7 years. It's my mini first career. Peanut butter goes in an aisle. These people put their peanut butter in the bakery. Do they bake the peanut butter???? I DON'T THINK SO!!! So in the middle of an aisle at the Albertsons I said "where in the bleep bleep is the bleep bleep peanut butter?!?" Some nice young man said, it's in the corner. I said, thank you.
Where in tarnation is my gin and tonic!?!

I have finally finished grading.
Oh, and, I don't use multiple choice or chi-tester or any other "easy" method...lots of reading of lots of bad writing.
- 45 introduction students
- 17 senior seminar students
- 20 american congress students
- 21 political behavior students

December 10
Sorry it's been so long. It's the end of the semester so all hell has broken loose.
My absolute favorite is the students who hand in a bunch of papers that were due in October. I kind of wish I were ballsy enough to say, dude, I'm not even reading these. But of course I say, you can have partial credit. Next semester I'm just not grading them. I am going to say right up front, unless you tell me beforehand, you cannot do it late. I say it in the syllabus but I am going to mean it next semester.
ARGH!
