Thursday: o

For dinner we were having taquitos and potatoes, so I also made apple-os because it made me smile.

Today was the last day of classes.  I don't love final review day.  We reviewed as a class for a bit and then I had some review for them to work on on their own.  The students that should have stayed longer left right away* and the students that didn't really need to stay stayed.  The first class actually had a bunch of questions and the TA and I were busy for a lot of the time, and then in the second class everyone left 20 minutes before normal.

*The final exam isn't until next Friday though, so in some ways I get it...it might be more beneficial to study closer to the exam time.

Tuesday

Oh, today was fine.  Nothing really went wrong, but nothing was fun either.

I feel like I need a detail about the day to at least make this a worthwhile post. 

I'm working on a boring quilt.  I'm not sure why this one isn't interesting to me, but it's a bit of a slog.  I'll have some interesting sashing and I've been able to work on that just a little bit.  I do have to make 180 of the same subunit, but that's rather normal in a quilt.  The subunits are then going into 30 blocks, and all the blocks are the same.  It is different from what I normally do, but not that much.  Oh well.  I'll keep working away at it.

 

Monday: O:CtH

I did a drawer and a cabinet today!  It seems like a small amount, but at the same time there's always other stuff that needs to be done too.  These were also the worst two spots by far, so I'm excited.

The outside of the lazy susan was surprisingly dirty too.  I kept thinking I had gotten all the spots, but then I'd move my head and find more.

Isaac looked pretty amazing during rock climbing today too.

Saturday: overheard

Setting: Isaac and Joshua are playing a game of make-believe in the basement.  It is important to note that this is Joshua's character talking to Isaac's character.

Joshua: I have a note of encouragement for you.  

Joshua: "I hope you are doomed!!!"

Isaac, deadpan: I don't think that's encouragement.

Friday: blood donation

 I gave blood today.  The donation went so, so much better than it has the last several months.  I did *actually* do a good job of drinking enough water, so I'm hoping that was the reason.  I've tried in the past donations to drink enough, but this time I drank even more.  We'll see in January if it goes well again.  

Anyway, I was a bit worried when they poked my finger for the iron test because the blood did not want to come out.  (If you recall, the last blood donation was barely eligible because we were having a hard time getting the blood to come out of me.)  Anyway, they got the needle in my arm easily and I finished in six minutes, which was record time. Woot woot!

Thursday: bananas

 I got these bananas last Monday.  They were green, but they tend to ripen within two-three days.

It's now been ten days and they still aren't ripe enough to eat.  I'm annoyed.

Tuesday: the worst

I hate final exams on Fridays.  This semester I have two.
