baby did a mad, mad thing

yesterday: treated myself to a steak dinner in celebration of finishing the MA. drove to washington to see RotK with darthrami and cmshaw at 11:30. ( we agreed: it was a movie. )

got home at about 4:00. madness.

today: woke up at 6:30 to be the Human Alarm Clock and make sure darthrami got up to go to her last day of work. went back to sleep. left, finally, around 10:30, drove back down here, stopped to get a pedicure; stopped to talk to an unhelpful young man about renting a U-Haul truck on january 3.

checked my e-mail: the an LJ fairy has renewed me for another six months! thank you, LJ fairy!

now to resume packing ...

ongoing grade report:

psychology: A

russian grammar (for which, you'll remember, i wrote a wretched paper; as of monday the professor hadn't decided what grade to give me on the course, because my final exam contained numerous errors. i wasn't prepared to argue this point with him, because it was completely true; as i pointed out to him, all i'd have been able to say was "yeah, i sure made up a bunch of those answers, didn't i." [g]): A (yay!)

russian semantics: jury's still out, and no earthly way to predict what the grade might be ...

[also, sekrit message for jgesteve: i'll be delighted to help you out if and when you need help, if you promise not to complain when i get how i get. ;-)]

oh, and --

according to the scale at darthrami's, i've lost another three and a half pounds since thanksgiving.
