i love scrubs

that's a good summary for the past couple days.

scrubs, in case you didn't know, is my current pick for "lara's favorite TV show of all time".

when season one came out on DVD earlier this year, i had it preordered so it came to my house asap. (it should be noted that this is the first time EVER that i've liked a tv show enough to want to own it all on DVD)

when season two comes out a week from tomorrow, yup, i've got that preordered from amazon too, so i can see it as soon as it comes out.

so what do you do when you have to sit down and grade 105 calculus quizzes? watch your scrubs dvd and get to work, of course!

what do you do when you need to sit down and grade all those students' homework assignments too? turn on the scrubs dvd where you left off, and get back to work again. :)

what do you do when you actually need to study and work through the students' homework assignment for this wednesday so that you can actually answer their questions during office hours this afternoon? watch a few more episodes of scrubs and get back to work. :)

in the past less than 24 hours, i've seen 14 of the 24 season one episodes. if i keep up this trend next weekend with this week's grading, i'll have made it through season one yet again, and in order, in time to watch it pretty much back to back with the new DVD when it comes out. *that* is exciting.

otherwise, all i've done this weekend is math.
* as indicated above, most of yesterday was consumed by grading and working out this week's calc homework that my students have to do.
* i did absolutely nothing for my advisor this week, but we didn't meet last week so this afternoon i can just show him what i would have showed him then.
* i give the tropical math seminar next week. while i understand the paper i'm presenting from a graph theory point of view, the prof in charge wants me to start out with a linear algebra example to tie my talk together with the rest of the seminars this semester. after fighting most of saturday with it, i still don't get it, so i'm meeting with sarah (grad student a year ahead of me, who just so happens to be a student of the prof making me do this) this afternoon to hopefully make my day of struggling and getting nowhere on saturday come into better perspective... we'll see.

conclusion: lots and lots of work, but scrubs gets me through it, and that makes me happy. the end. :P
