School Stuff/Reward of Good Housekeeping

Well, I’d best give myself a break on that pro­cras­ti­na­tion thing—I haven’t been able to log in to WebCT, where all the assign­ment info is. I’ve con­tact­ed the sup­port peo­ple to no avail. Hope­ful­ly, I will EVENTUALLY hear from them. I’ve decid­ed that I can’t hold myself respon­si­ble for their sys­tem fail­ure, since I am try­ing to get it straight­ened out.

As for next semes­ter, I want­ed to take geol­o­gy to fill my oth­er lab sci­ence require­ment. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, the ECore peo­ple have a his­to­ry syl­labus up where the geol­o­gy syl­labus should be. Appar­ent­ly, it’s been that way for a year and I’m the first per­son to men­tion it! The head of the sci­ence depart­ment at SPSU has to look at a real syl­labus for the geol­o­gy course in order to decide whether or not it’ll count. We’re get­ting down to the wire and nobody seems to be able to fix the issue, so I’m going to take chem­istry instead. I had two years of chem­istry in high school, so it should­n’t real­ly be hard—but I was look­ing for­ward to doing some­thing dif­fer­ent. I’ve had an affin­i­ty for rocks and crys­tals since child­hood, so I’m a bit disappointed.

shad­owkatt will be leav­ing short­ly for the week­end full of Girl Scout and extend­ed fam­i­ly activ­i­ties. We have gamers com­ing over to play D&D tonight and hope to make the filk tomor­row night.

The house is look­ing pret­ty good. The reward for main­tain­ing things well is that we don’t have to rush around clean­ing to have guests over. The office is still clut­tered, but I’m start­ed to believe that may just be its nat­ur­al state. I’m not giv­ing up yet, though! (And it does look bet­ter as a result of sam­bear putting away the “work­bench” used for fix­ing oth­er peo­ple’s PCs.)
