No Swearing!
Is it just me or do college students on campus believe they can be as loud and as abnoxious as they want since they have the room as theirs? Is there no concept of respecting other people's sound-space? Can they not get it in their minds that we all need to share and that being needlessly loud (where you can actually hear every single word as if they were next to you - even when they are past a wall and further than they think) sucks for those of us who like the quiet from time to time?
Am I just getting old?
Set in my ways?
Cranky?
Nah, just more aware of how the gap between me and the incoming freshman keeps getting wider and wider. Perhaps it is a good time to resign myself to a quiet floor so I don't feel so suffocated by the "F-Bombs" and overly giggly freshman girls.
Clog News - they were good today, although these clogs are my black and not-so-comfortable ones and they make a funky sound if I slip in them. Quite embarassing, but nothing I can do about it.
Back to German Arbeitsbuch I go.

Blog.. blog blog
A blog about clogs might be effective.
Day 1 - it snowed - my feet were cold and snow got into my shoes!
Day 2 - Slushy ball entered left shoe by heel route - cannot feel toes.
Day 3 - Clog slipped off - flew forward - and hit my friend in the backside. We both fell, looked at each other and begin laughing. Clogs may actually have a purpose - to bring friends closer together!
Day 4 - Lost one clog, found it buried under dirty clothes. Found that heel part on inside is wearing away. Clog may be closer to trash can than anticipated.

Another semester is...
...starting and here I am, bored to death - waiting for a meeting to start because I don't want to start a project an hour before because I am an "All or nothing" kind of gal.
I begin teaching my class tomorrow morning at 9am - I have been planning and getting ready for this for a long time - and now my time has come to see if a theme in college writing will be workable - as long as I keep the big picture in mind - I am sure it will work out.
My dashes seem to be spreading - either a virus or some sort of breeding principle that I haven't yet been able to control as they seem to get together without me knowing it. my fear of commas being easier to produce offspring faster than such a longer symbol as a dash? Perhaps a dysfunctional brain function - or just because I have read too much Emily Dickinson in my time. I died for Beauty, what did you die for? Don't even think that I will meet you between the walls - would be cramped and quite clammy.
Forms forms forsm. Can anyone explain why we have so many paper forms to fill out in such a technological world? Ok, perhaps not world - maybe continent... or perhaps country... or Northern Hemisphere - or ok, fine, University. But, I suppose all those ink pen producers would have to hang up their quills and refills if we decided not to use paper anymore.

Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year. I would like to put in a request for my family to stay healthy and well for the next year and that they get what they would like for Christmas. (I can vouch for them.... well, most of them)
For myself, just knowing people are happy will be enough.
Lovingly,
Aya

PS - unless you have an overstock of braincells, time, and scholarships - I would very much appreciate your consideration.

EEEEEHEEEEHEEEHEEE
That was a testing of our giddiness broadcast. My 30 min presentation went very well and I have a lot to work with for the 10-15 pg paper due in a week. Yes - I lived through it! If anyone is curious about collaborative teaching, I can send you some notes that may help you out. =-D
I have found that my pinky's like to go numb these days - not sure what's going on, but it is driving me crazy - a constant numb with warmth. And then they feel like they get cramped - I'm not doing anything except typing - but since I drove from Fargo, I have been having problems.
"Shake it like a Polaroid picture! Hey-Yah!"
Tonight, I can clean my room - it's a mess with dirty dishes, papers and books laying all over the place. The only thing that I enjoyed seeing this morning was my Christmas Tree. I'm so glad that's there.
