piled higher and deeper
1) got my court summons in the mail, with an october 13th hearing date.
2) paid the $86 fine instead of going to court. did you know that 90% of the time, judges rule against you for doing a california stop?
3) am still annoyed at the cop, stealthily tucked behind the trees/fence on a private driveway. it was a total trap and he was clearly bored!
4) broke the curve in my statistics class with the highest score (98.5) on the 1st exam! ha!
5) have been swimming regularly. i truly love it, plus my joints are happy in H2O.
6) wondered if you can catch mumps in a swimming pool. are you safe if you had the vaccine? (there's a mumps outbreak at the university).
7) celebrated dad's birthday (a milestone b-day)! yay!
9) learned an egg won't necessarily stand on its end at equinox.
10) picked concord grapes at a vineyard and made homemade grape juice that is now turning into wine.11) went to an apple orchard & bought my favorite heirloom apples, cider & donuts.
12) took a tricky midterm that's left me anxious.
13) graded midterms (for the class i'm TAing).
14) sent e-mail warnings to 9 students who did poorly.
15) have been thinking about chicago (more on this later).
14) learned i *might* be traveling to asia next year (shh, don't tell anyone yet!).
16) was sad to say goodbye to my old car and trade it in....BUT/AND...
17) bought a new car! it's not a hybrid, but is "environmentally friendly", so yay!OK, back to studying. i have a super hard research methods take-home midterm due tomorrow night. i'll write more after midterms. (not that things will ever slow down at school--i'll probably be moving at breakneck speed 'til december/winter break).
