This morning, I have:
-Gotten out of bed by eight
-Not had candy for breakfast
-Gotten to school by 9
-Talked to Dr. Ewen about my prospectus, and got him to send an e-ail to Carl for me
-Mailed out my swap to Poland (the only one I needed to get to the post office for)
-Found out how much it actually costs to mail swaps within the country (37 cents for less than an ounce, plus 12 cents for the padded envelope, so 49 cents total, woooooh... Time to get some 50 cent stamps I think!) The envelopes themselves cost 15 cents, so all in all it is 64 cents.
-Ate McDonals for breakfast... Two apple pies* and an orange juice
-Talked to Dr Babbits about my paper for his class (I will need to ask him, and Carl, and one other person to be on my committee, but don't know who the outsider will be yet. I didn't realize I got to pick!)
-I'm going to start reading the next book for Carl's class once I get off this computer! I'm going to go outside to do it. It has been just gorgeous here the past few days, and since I can be outside, I may as well!

I have class at 11:00, and class at 3:30. So, I'm not sure what I will do between 12:15 and 3:30. probably eat something, maybe with people if there are any around :p I'm not sure when everyone's big project is due, though. If it is this afternoon, they may all be busy. We'll see. I could read more of the book for next week, since then I could go sit outside some more, or I could go to the library and check some things out... I think my wrist needs a day off the microfilm though. I'll go back to that tomorrow, before I go play games. I am kind of wary of playing games with Dr. Dudley and co. on April Fool's though ;p

I guess I dn't really ahev anything to say, but people who are not on Steve's Flist and who are interested in language and/or gaming might want to see an Essay on the subject he wrote. And then you can comment to him here. Okay, c'est tout! (And strangely, I almost typed 'Okay', c,est tout!')

*I fear that I am falling into the McDonalds 'eat more food!" trap. I do't like any of their sandwiches, so even though I know the pies are disgustingly bad for me, they are my usual choice when I need breakfast and am at/near Eller. But they *only* sell them as 2/1. And I never have any luck giving them away. I've tried. And I don't want to waste them. And I always forget about them if I try to save them for later. Finding a mushed two-day-old apple pie in your bookbag is not cool :p So, down my gullet they go! In related news, I think I am going to make myself diabetic. I got distracted by something yesterday, and never did get to making myself dinner (Perhaps I was distracted by multiple things...). so, since yesterday at Lunch, when I had a burrito, I've had: an assload of candy, and a smoothie (strawberry banana), and two apple pies, and some juice. I now that fruit is healthy, and I only add unsweetened organic juice and spices to them, but they are still pretty sweet nonetheless. I've got to get out of the habit of skipping dinner. This isn't the first time I've done that. And I'd even taken stuff out! Ahh well, I guess my meat will be extra marinated tonight!

Well, how about that.

I just got back from school a litke while ago. I've been tired since before lunch. I was just thinking "Hmm, do I have time to take a nap before..." and then rewalized I don't have anything to complete that sentence with. This is probably a good thing, since I have a lot of stuff to work on. But I would rather have more social time :p Feh.

In other news, I was thining about what I am going to have Kalman do on my way home, and I think I scared some guy. Oops. Who knew I could exude hate like that, and not even for a real person! :o

Nap time!

I am mostly done my taxes, I think I have entered everything I can, so far. There are just a couple of things that I am not sure how to do, or what to do about.

The first is that I need to get the Doom Form of Ass Raping. I call it that, because this was the form that I didn't have when UI did my 2002 taxes after Sheffield, that caused me to get audited. I suspected that it was sneaking up on me with insidious intentions towards my bottom, and now that is confirmed. However, this time.. at least I know it exists. Hazel, I sent you an ICQ, because you will also need this form, but just to be double sure, and for easy reference, it is here. I knew there was something!

The other thing that I'm not sure how to handle is my assitantship. Do I claim is as a fellowship, or as foreign income? Fortunately, there is a tax number that I can, and will call, probably tomorrow. For my own reference, the info I will need when I call is ( under this cut! ). I hope I should be able to get that straightened out tomorrow morning. I will go ask Karen or Barbra who I should see about my form. Probably the Cashier's office. It's cool, though, I can handle this, I can, really *deep breath*.

So, what should I do with the rest of my evening? I'm thinking maybe a bath.
