I have a load of laundry in the dryer I need to fold. I was thinking about that, I just didn't have time to do it this morning. Today is another PAC meeting as will be Thursday. I actually dressed appropriately today. I didn't like being thrown into the meeting unprepared yesterday and I feel horrible Sharla had to get me from the library.

We are going to finish this paper with my sole student. Now she is making sure all of her references are incorporated in her paper in some way. She's going to feel great when it's all done. I'm going to let her have tomorrow off because she is almost done right now. She is REALLY going to feel great when she stays home tomorrow. I'll also feel great staying in my library. I need to get up to my library and email dean Heather Dumb to check the progress of my appeal letter.

Last night I found my friend's thesis online. I read a few pages and I'll read more when I'm not so tired. I thought George's dissertation would be boring, but his thesis is worse. It is ALL technical so reading it is like taking a sleeping pill for me. Whatever I think writing helps me understand people more and learning what he's spent so much of his time doing should be a good thing. I love math because it's like a bunch of puzzles to me. This however is like reading a different language.

The only correlation this has to ANYTHING else I've read is chemistry BUT even that had obvious math and science correlations. This has NOTHING. I became an English major because I wanted to read novels and poetry all day and then consider these. There's an art to writing that makes some pieces beautiful. Apparently my love for pretty things extends everywhere.

That Wordsworth poem I quoted him now seems extremely appropriate. He examines and considers minutia that together make sense and create something. My mind doesn't naturally work that way. Of course I read maybe 3 pages of that monster. I'm going to keep reading it and see if a lightbulb goes off.

Alan Hansen the online director answered the email I originally sent Heather Gunn. He will head the appeals committee so I am happy for that. They have their ACCSC accreditation visit this week so he said this won't happen until next week. I like this very much. I am enjoying a little break before I teach tonight AND welcome my uncle into my home again.
