gotta love it....

(one of these is way more sarcastic than the others, can you tell which? :P)

* i have my first rate my professors.com rating ever... i wonder if students realize that profs check the site too... really, not just grad students; i know actual professors who have their rating page bookmarked and check it every month or two. :P

* aek and me are officially funded to go to GSCC06 next month. our plane tickets are paid for by the university, and we're going to stay with aek's undergrad roommate... since we bought tickets late and flying on monday instead of sunday made a large difference, we have a whole day at the end to kill just hanging out... whether i hang out with aek and his old friends, or track down old budapest friends in madison is TBA (hopefully some of both), but it should be a good weekend.

* i gave leigh a blurb yesterday morning that since colleen was already gone to MN and leigh was leaving for canada for the weekend, i'd be sad and lonely all weekend... while i was out on campus all day yesterday, she left me a bag of craisins trail mix to keep me company. leigh is fantastic.

* i managed to keep myself up til 2am last night, and had the sheer pleasure of being woken up before 9... i'm home alone, didn't set any alarm clocks, and the phone was turned off, so how does that happen? my landlord decided to ring the bell every 5 minutes until he got an answer starting at 8:45AM... when i came downstairs on the 3rd attempt, he seemed surprised to see me in PJs with my glasses on, and looking like i had just rolled out of bed (i had... i needed to make the bell STOP). he had come over to be a little friendlier about the lecture we got last tuesday about the furnace bill... but timing... could have been a little later. at least he's in a moderately better mood about it.

today's agenda?
* i never quite got around to grading workshops yesterday, so post-breakfast, it's scrubs season one DVD (i practically have both season one and season two memorized... it's a good thing season three comes out soon) and grading fiesta until i get that done with...
* my own homework
* 5 miles (it's a beautiful weekend, how can i *not* make sure i get my walk/jogging in every day)
* groceries

i plan ever so much weekend fun, don't i?

later dudes.
