they put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold

When I was home last weekend, I found my copy of Great Big Sea DVD & CD so I can listen to all their live version again. It got eaten off my iPod a while back, so this is tons of fun *bounces*

I survived my last paper, turning in a whole pile of work in a binder all tabbed and labeled. Hopefully it was actually coherent. *snerk* Seeing as I went to bed at 1:15 (which incorporates 45 minutes of a panic attack), it's kind of impressive. Amusingly, our professor polled all of us about the amount of sleep we got. 5 hours was pretty popular; two highly organized souls got a full 8 hours (that will NEVER be me) while one of my friends only got 1 hour. Ouch.

Suffice it to say that Thursday was a day of wayyyyy too much caffeine. I definitely started drinking a diet coke at 8:45 in the morning. It was bad. But it was to bolster me up for my students performance about families. Which, with the party, took ALLL morning. The rest of the day was a little chaotic, as all the kids were overhyped and a little jittery. *shamefaced* My math lesson made a girl cry. Though that was mostly because she doesn't understand it than because of the day. Poor dear.

In broad strokes, the next week needs to consist of the following things:

final student teaching evaluation for meeting (Monday)
an essay with process log (Tuesday)
letter detailing my growth in class (Tuesday)
mini-lesson with all important parts (Tuesday)
last log and journal entry (Tuesday)
Porfolio (Thursday)
Student teaching hours (Thursday?)

This is not including fiddly things like laundry, returning library books, and hitting Staples for Xmas cards, mailing envelope and something adorable I can make for my kids.

So yeah, a little busy. But it's almost Christmas, and the smell of trees on almost every corner is kind of gorgeous. I'm such a holiday nerd. It's the only thing that makes the OMG freezing weather midly bearable.

California in 8 days!!!

of course you should be afraid of the dark if you know what's out there!

I've been so delinquent in watching Supernatural, which is so sad, because it's such a fun and interesting show. Sam seems to have gotten less hot, which is.. drepressing. But the storylines are way fun.

This is really a roundabout way to say that I'm watching "The Usual Suspects" right now, soon to be followed with "Crossroad Blues" and "Croatoan". *bounces*

I have "seed stories" for two of the three supports to my essays. Guess I'll start on the last set. Then comes revising, and intros, and conclusions, ta-da? God, this is so time-consumingly irritating.

Also, Jumanji is on too. I like that movie way more than I should. Even though the end makes me sniffly.

Oooh, and I saw Happy Feet last night! It was so adorable! Robin Williams as multiple penguins is so so funny. And I heart Hugh Jackman singing. All the singing, and the dancing. But why were the little penguins Latino? In ANTARTICA?? *shrugs* eta: Apparently those penguins were in Argentina. I stand corrected!

The music is fabulous, but apparently not all of the songs are on the soundtrack. I hate it when they do that! *grumps*

Anywho, off to watch the end of Jumanji, Supernatural... and write my essay XD
