Office Hours, Office Horrors, Office Whores?
Holy office hours, Batman.
The Soc 101 final is this Friday at 10am. That means us TAs get to hold "extended office hours" all week. I've been sitting in my office since 12:30 and will be here until about 4:30, when I have to go to my own class. Tomorrow, I'll be here from 11am - 4pm. The office has been swamped today, with lots of 101 students reviewing the three previous tests.
Hooray.
At least my Research Methods class is having a potluck today.
I volunteered to bring a "side dish" to this potluck. I figured it would be easy to think of something... and then yesterday I realized that today, the day of the potluck, I would be stuck at school from 10:30am until 4:30, when class begins, without a break to go get/make a side dish. Soooo last night I ventured out in the foggy mistiness that was the evening weather to go to Whole Foods and find a side dish.
After 15 minutes, I finally picked up two containers of pre-made Whole Foods stuffing... one with wild rice and cranberries, the other with sage. I couldn't find anything else that looked appetizing and would also sit for a day. These two containers were overpriced (it was Whole Foods, I should have known), so I decided to throw monetary caution to the wind and buy a nice bottle of champagne.
(The champagne is NOT for the potluck at school... it is for Laura at home.)
In other news, I'm starting to get into the Christmas spirit... if the Christmas spirit is a sudden excitement about lightly falling snow and the best gift ideas ever for almost everyone in my family. It all came to me yesterday as I was walking through puddles to Chin's Asia Fresh. I know exactly what to get everyone... except for my brother. He just had a wedding. He currently has everything he wants. Hmm.
I'm rambling...
I've done a completely HORRIBLE job of keeping in touch with the important people in my life these days. I may have developed some sort of phone phobia. Well, okay, I was sick all last week... so that's kind of an excuse... but not really. SO, if you're reading this and have tried to contact me in the past few weeks and haven't gotten a response back... I'm really sorry... and you're not the only one, okay? I've been very preoccupied lately...
That reminds me, I need to call my mother and see what the docs found out about my dad's MRI results.
The end. For now.
