La Vie En Rose for 2006 March 6

(1) Mon Mar 06 2006 16:11 PST War Life by timetable?: I made, as I always do about this time of the quarter, a little chart with all my hours and what I am supposed to be doing during those hours. People look at the chart and freak. They ask when I am supposed to do things like eat, and don't seem pacified when I point to the little blank spots in between blocks of "work on paper" and "practice lecture" and "read book." So maybe it is a bit Hermione-esque. But I decided, as motivation, each hour I do what I am supposed to be doing will be $1 towards a new pair of shoes!

The problem is... my schedule started today at noon. And I'm already 4 hours behind.

(2) Mon Mar 06 2006 16:29 PST Typo: Six countries initially agreed to pool their cola and steel resources

(3) Mon Mar 06 2006 18:08 PST Rainy Day: The house is so quiet. Don took Gretel away to a new home, where she has 2 1/2 acres to run on and kids to play with her. I am sooo sad. I just want to wallow in my sadness and maybe read a good book, but instead I have to prepare a lecture on Ireland in the EU and read about the Holocaust. blaaaaaaaaaaah
