Mm.
I firmly approve of the addition of Bailey’s to coffee. In fact, I wonder if it would be considered inappropriate for those winter mornings with 8:30 classes.

What is this “spare time”?

Summing up the first two weeks of school.
This has been a crazy, crazy two weeks, but the first intensive block of school is done, and on Tuesday the first regular semester begins. I’ve already completed two classes (save for a take-home exam and some longer-term assignments). Management Skills was 18h of class over the first four days covering the soft skills we’d […]

Oh, and

three days to go!
(Not counting today, of course.) Pretty quiet at work now between tapering off and other people’s vacations. I’m feeling pretty lame-duck. People are taking me out to lunch Thursday and Friday, though, so that’ll make those days go by quicker. I think I’m going to gather up my stuff Thursday and take it home that night, so […]
