If I hadn’t just woken up from a nap, I’m sure I would be able to come up with a fantastic poster: Motivator

Possibly even better than Demotivators.

When you get onto an elevator full of people, and are going to the top floor, MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE ELEVATOR. Don’t stand in front of the doors, and then act all surprised when people are trying to get past you.

I can’t tell you how glad I am that the semester is over.

I got distracted yesterday, and forgot to mention the Word of the Day.

I found it rather disappointing.

My brother just sent me an e-mail with a link to this news item, and the subject “Happy now?”

Original ‘Star Wars’ films coming to DVD

Yes. Yes I am happy now.

This morning at the rec as I was drying off, I heard what I first thought was an alarm, then realized was a cell phone ringing. I heard a shower turn off, some indistinct mumbling, and then I heard, “I’m in the shower at the rec” more indistinct mumbling, and finally the conversation closed with, “I can be there in twenty minutes if I hurry. (pause) I am NAKED in the SHOWER. (pause) Bye.”

Sometimes Kat reminds me of a dragon.

I don’t mean to insinuate that I have actually seen a dragon—I haven’t. Nor am I saying I believe that they exist—I don’t.

It’s just that sometimes, the way he moves his head reminds me of how I imagine a dragon would move. And sometimes he looks at you as if he’s seriously considering using his fiery breath to turn you into a crispy snack, except that it would require too much effort. And besides, then he’d have to go hunt his own food, and that would definitely be too much effort.

noun
The study of mountains

Turned in my paper. Probably should have sat on it another day and looked over it once more. But.

I really just wanted the semester to be over, and that did it.

Now, off to do some more relaxation!

Assuming all goes well, other than some minor changes for my paper, I’ll be done for the semester after my presentation this afternoon.

Of course, Michael isn’t done until next week, but the worst for him should be over by Friday.

I’ll try not to gloat too much tonight, as I recline on the sofa with a book, dark chocolate, and strong whiskey.

I have been working on my paper and presentation.

Really!

And I don’t know why I’ve been reading all these vampire books either. Just one of those things.

fabulist
n.
1. A composer of fables. 2. A teller of tales; a liar. [French fabuliste, from Latin fabula, fable.]

I finally e-mailed my professor and found out how to exclude cases in SPSS.

Which means that I need to do all my analyses again.

And remake all my charts.

Plus finish my presentation.

And my paper.

See ya next week!
