Well, it's been almost a whole month since school started (depressing). I've cranked out some serious work on my thesis, yet it still mocks me... Callimachus and I had a major discussion about Greek the other night. David will be in GA next week (that's February 4th - 6th for those of you who are there) for an interview with Emory for his PhD program of choice. Ironically, the professor he would like to meet is one of his friend's dad... weirdness. He was looking through the faculty and saw this man's project (which he wants to join with, so excited about it and I do not understand the science gibberish to explain to you all) and then said, "What a minute, is that ------'s dad?" I looked on Facebook in order to determine family resemblance and we're fairly certain it is. Ah, the fun of feeling your world shrink back to normal size. I'm hoping that the professor remembers David and that might tip things in his favor. But you never know.
My parents have their tickets purchased for the April trip out here (YAY). So now, it is up to me to discover hotel prices. Exciting. The class I'm teaching is going well, the first exam was sent in and should be up soon for my students to take. I have to call payroll since I have not gotten a paycheck for the first pay period - this happened last summer because my contract failed to get filed correctly, so it was assumed that I was working pro bono. I like to think that I am a nice person and fairly giving, but when it comes to paychecks I NEED THAT MONEY. There are things like rent and food that need to be paid for with $$$. Sigh. I hate dealing with the payroll folks. Honestly, it should not be this difficult for you to give me money.
