(no subject)

So, how's this icon for a blast from the past? :p

Karate party was crazy fun last night. I got my grading sheet back. I lost marks on basics (possibly for doing "The Wheels on the Bus" :p) and katta (for, well, screwing up :p), but I got full marks on sparring. So apparently I'm fine as long as I'm actually fighting a real person. What does THAT mean? :p

I got an A on my Organic paper, which is obviously super shiny. I just have one assignment and paper left for that class, since there's no exam. The paper is actually all typed up, I just need to go through it tonight to make sure that things like "This structure would make Langler cry" were typed into an IM window and not the paper itself. :p The assignment is going to be a bit of an adventure, since it's a question where the answer isn't actually known.

From the realm of the all pervasive Facebook, one of my students used it to ask me for an extension on her lab report. Is there anything Facebook ISN'T used for? :p (Which reminds me I have to mark the rest today. I managed to borrow Lach's marking scheme, since mine is MIA. :p)

I gave Glen a deadline for my rec letter today, so that will actually get done. I've been getting slightly stressed about the whole thing. Once I have that letter in my hand, I can send my application and nag Steve to mail HIS rec letter himself.

Lab book hilarity

So, this batch of lab books had some HILARIOUS stuff in them. One girl's conclusion ended with "GO BUFFERS!" Another ended with "I know this lab you'll be way too happy marking not to give me a great mark! :)" (She also wished me luck with the wedding, which was sweet.)

The one that TOTALLY MADE MY DAY though was an introduction.

This lab introduces us to the techniques used in measuring pH values, and also how to determine if lab TA's actually read intros. I was told I could mention cheese unnoticed.

I kinda collapsed on the table laughing at that. :p
