Vacay Day 3 in AD
Only got about five hours of sleep last night. I’m not sure why… I did go to bed around 2am, but thought I would sleep in…. Anyway, yesterday was a fairly good day, though not necessarily study-productive. I did get quite a bit of reading done, but it’s taking me longer to get through some…

Vacay Day 2 in AD
This is just a small view of the things I have planned to get through this week. 😀 I managed to accomplish in small doses everything on my list yesterday, though not necessarily as much as I had hoped for one day. Still, it is holiday and as long as I get bits done each…

Vacay Day 1 in AD
It dawned on me this morning that this is perhaps the first time in three years that I have stayed put during a holiday. It’s a little weird. Also, I haven’t been on my own for a while, so I have to admit that I’m quite a bit excited about the week. 🙂 After dropping…

Zoo Drama
While I am trying to recover from midterm hell, we got some more fantastic news today at work. Our vacation went from being a week long to just two workdays. WTF? Normally, I would just roll with the punches, but after the last two days and with more marking coming up tomorrow due to the…

Midterm HELL!
Okay, seriously, I thought it was bad when we had to double-mark 25 essays at the end of term. When I decided to do this new semester course, I figured that it would be an okay trade-off to have to teach instead of all the marking…. Then, mid-term exams were formulated – okay, I can…

The Adoption Diaries
While I was reading a New York Times article, I saw a link to a story on an abused adopted daughter. Of course, I had to click on it. The article is interesting, but am more interested in the section of adoption diaries. Though I haven’t explored it thoroughly, I wonder if all the stories…

Winter’s a’comin’
[simage=4284,200,n,center,][simage=4283,200,n,center,] Last week, or was it two weeks ago now, was a stretch of strange morning weather. Early in the morning until about 9am or so, there was a crazy mist that covered the country. This made driving to work rather interesting since visibility was as you can tell from the photos. Of course, most…

Sometimes you just need a wee nap
[simage=4287,288,n,center,][simage=4286,288,n,center,] Yes, it is true. There are days when I am at work from 7.30 to 5 or later and to survive the day, a little rest of eyes is required. The beauty of having my own office is that I can pretend to not be in the office. Also, because of the way I…

Janet Jackson in Abu Dhabi
On October 13, 2011, B and I headed to see Ms Jackson at the Yas Island Arena. Now, I had made a decision that this year I would not go to any concerts unless 1) I got free tickets; or 2) I was willing to pay for VIP seats. Previous concert experiences at this venue…
