on recent events

things lately have been good. certain things have resolved themselves with a bit (although much more than i would have liked) of time, and so i am a lot less stressed. in that same vein, im done with midterms and now focusing on preparing myself for finals. i'm trying to get a good start, its only been a half-hearted attempt so far, but i figure a half-hearted and early start is better than nothing.

im waiting for 15 minutes for my students to come to a special little lesson im giving on how to find research articles online. it was helpful to the two students who came to the last one and more are coming now. i'm proud of myself. i also found out that i will be able to keep this ta-ship for next quarter as well. certain ta's are being let go despite the fact that there will be even more sections meaning even more tas are needed, so i guess thats a good reflection on my performance so far.

i just got a sudden urge to play mario brothers, good thing im going to shoreland tonight, maybe i'll hit up ian to let me play his system for a while. that sounds like fun.

i had a really good weekend, frank took me out to Flattop Grill on friday which was really nice. then i spent saturday laying around and watching tv and not really being productive, but i guess thats ok on the saturday after midterms finish. sunday i got dinner with jake and had a bit of a chat with him, it went well i think, i hope the future outcomes of it are good as well, but it doesnt really involve me anymore, so we'll see. wow, i sound really cryptic. then sunday night i made scones with andrew k and then andrew y came over and ate them with us and we had a bottle of wine and watched Sports Night. it was fun.

now i need to teach this class in 10 minutes, then go to the shoreland to see some people, possibly play mario brothers (yes, the original), and do homework before bed. then class tomorrow until 8 and then i get to see frank, and then do it all over again.
