Well I have one choice project pretty much complete. I still need to type up a summary of the "Me Glog" or "Me Bag" but all of the hard work is done. Ugh...l need to do my Prezi...AHhh! I'm not Prezi-Savvy and I'm avoiding it at all costs! Thankfully Ross and Skip have put in some "work time" for tomorrow. That's probably what I'll be working on, that way they are available to help me with snafus and my frustration. Ha. Any recommendations on what my Prezi should be about?
To make this no-good-very-bad-day even worse I fell down the muddy hill after class today. Yep, true story. I had my pink backpack, book tote, and a plate full of leftover sandwiches. I'm carefully eyeing my way down the steep hill across the street from Kayser Hall. It's muddy from the mid morning rain. Thinking that I'm indestructible, I start stepping down the slick hill. One hop and a couple trips later I wind up on my butt with sandwiches scattered around me. Awesome. The worst part was that I was meeting my future sister-in-law at the mall right after class. Showing up to anthropologie with a soggy, muddy butt, mud splatters up my leg, and a foot drenched in (now dry) mud will hinder your service. I got plenty of stares...it definitely was the cherry on top of my day. BUT....ending on a positive note, I found a fantastic skirt for the first day of school! :o) I don't care what you say... shopping cures every bad day! Who doesn't love the feeling of a new fabulous outfit? (well... my wallet didn't love it, but I'll be rolling in the dough soon...right?)
Ok, off to change my pants and finish my Glog! (That sound wrong, but whatever)
Julia,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had such a bad day. Where are you driving from? I can sympathize with your little trip down the hill. Last night I was in bed and realized that I had forgotten to put my jump drive in my bag, and not wanting to forget it I decided to go downstairs and do it right then. On the way downstairs, I slipped and went tumbling all the way to the bottom - smashing my beautiful, expensive stair basket to smithereens and ramming my right heel into the door frame when I landed. I hurt so bad all over today and putting pressure on my heel was really painful (thank good for shoes with heels so you can put your weight on the front of your foot!) Of course, today was the day that I had to race back to work after class for a meeting with our new boss - and about 45 minutes into the meeting I realized that sitting in a hard plastic chair with a sore butt might just kill me. So, I tried to squirm as little as possible, but by the end I had tears in my eyes. The meeting went long and I raced back to UNO for the writing session - and in my rush, I stepped wrong on my heel several times. Thank goodness I was early enough to take some deep breaths before you all got there. By the end of the work day, Char had emailed and asked a question about inductive teaching, and I sat at my desk with my head in my hands wondering why I couldn't remember what that was! Ugh! I hate days like this!
Here's to a better day tomorrow for both of us!
