As I mentioned in my last post, I finished writing up the final exam sometime early this morning before I went to bed (and I was entirely correct in thinking that because I’d outlined the last essay in English, it was going to be a lot easier to write in English – it got done pretty quickly), and it’s now all prettied up and printed out.
I’m off to the university in the snow.
That’s right – you heard me. Snow!!! I know I should have sympathy for all of the Thanksgiving flights that had to come through Denver today, but, well, it’s snow!!! I like snow as long as it doesn’t stick around until May – I’m “from” Wisconsin, after all (well, as much as I’m from anywhere). Seeing dirty snow hang around from November to sometime in late spring is depressing, my friends… it actually melts here, though it didn’t really last year during that evil series of blizzards.
Of course, the problem is that the week I’m due this year is precisely the week where it snowed so badly last year that cars couldn’t make it down our street and the stores closed. We’re prepared for the stores being closed should history repeat itself – lots of emergency rations in the pantry – but if I end up having to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital just because we can’t get a cab to pick us up, I’m gonna be annoyed (though Small Monster will have a story for being born in style!).
Anyhow. I’m off to the university to drop this off, and I hope the freaking building is still open, it being the day before Thanksgiving and all.
Congratulations, Small Monster – we made it to the end of the quarter and finished the course! Now you really should come out and see the world. Seriously. There’s like, snow, you know?

I hear you–finished grading for 4 classes last night; the angels sing. Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Congrats! The idea of 4 classes at once makes my head spin.
I hope you all have an absolutely lovely Thanksgiving!!!
