bearshortyI went to sleep late but I still woke up right after 7am and I couldn’t really fall back asleep. I guess my body is not that tired.
I do like it when my brain figures things out when I’m sleeping or about to wake up. When I trying to go back to sleep this morning and maybe nap some more, my brain figured out my Global History syllabus breakdown - two papers, one final, 5 in class exercises and map quiz with attendance – all worth 20% each. That meant that once I did get up at eight, I finished my syllabus in less than an hour. So yay. I can print it tomorrow to give to my students on Wednesday. This school is really strict on attendance which I find a bit weird – they are not children anymore.
I can’t believe the semester starts tomorrow already.
I had an appointment at Local College with Professor S to coordinate our syllabi but she completely forgot and didn’t answer her cell until a few hours later. I waited for 20 minutes and then went home. At least I looked around the campus a bit and found my classroom and the building I need to go to for my ID on Wednesday. She did call me a few hours later and apologized profusely and we talked over the phone. She thinks I should have a few more readings and she was the one that didn’t want the students to buy a few books I wanted. I will add a bit more articles. I have time to figure that out tomorrow.
Hollywood Foreign Press is having a fit about Ricky Gervais’ jokes last night – well, they were very British, ‘I can’t believe he said out loud what it actually true’ kind.
Watching “House” is like comfort food. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I sat down to watch it. And it really feels like the start of the new semester now.
“House S7E9” Really, show, it is only 9th episode? It is January. I liked lots of little things about it. Definitely House and Cuddy’s mother story and House just wanting some time for himself. And Chase and Foreman conversations – Foreman’s “I’m black” was awesome and Chase’s mocking of the med student. I don’t care much about Taub’s marriage but I liked him looking at “Be better” poster and making a decision to be better. And people don’t change as POTW story is really about. I briefly met Matthew Lillard (and his most adorable parents) when he was doing a play in London in 2000 and he was awesome so I really like him as a guest star. He did made House actually go talk to Cuddy’s Mom. I’m glad this show is back
I also caught up on "Brothers and Sisters" from last night. Wow, Tommy lost weight. I hope he is not sick. This show is in decline which is a bit sad.
Cross stitch: light brown for little bear’s face and paws and the wonderful dark pink for his ears. That color is just so rich and wonderful.
