Zip-a-dee-doo-dah
November 14th, 2006Tired. Have had longish, non-stop, productive day since about 8.45am this morning. Am tired, and a little too drained to make elegant small talk at the very elegant faculty dinner that’s happening in the dining hall now. While I was at the pre-dinner reception getting some punch and grilled shrimp cocktail, I recognised three of the faculty in that crowded room – Prof M-G, who taught one of the more amusing (if not actually instructive) classes my freshman year; the amazing and energetic Prof J, who looks a lot older than I recall, and Prof C, who has never actually taught me, but with whom I have had a single, bizarre conversation.
I have now pretty much polished off the delicious homemade cookies I begged off from the dining hall staff (sugared gingerbread cookies and a particularly fine almond-and-pistachio biscotti). Which might mean I have to get back to work.
Scary midterm tomorrow. And I also need to write a short paper for my film class. How tedious. I wonder if I have time for a little reviving nap?
PS: I have found a streaming radio channel that plays nothing but covers of Disney songs!
