Just One Word

Hey Cohort... So I don't know how the language and literacy across the universe monday night class is going for you english types, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that the SS/SCI/Math people totally rocked the roundtable discussion tonight. I love this cohort. I have one word for everyones badass teacherieness:

praxis day!

happy being done with the praxis! just one more hurdle cleared on the way to unleashing the cohort onto the public school system. i felt as though it was slightly harder than i predicted, but that isn't a bad thing. it made me actually think during the two hours where i couldn't drink whiskey (but vodka was okay!) and couldn't read anything which wasn't either printed in the test booklet or on the inside of my eyelids. but the proctors, oh, the proctors didn't have to follow the rules...
also, i find that i am chomping at the bit to be back in class. because, seriously, lets do this shit. i think that some of the books will be interesting, i think that the experiences will be good, and i'm sick of only having the fall semester about which to think.
other things concerning today:
2 bloody marys at the buff was one too many. what the hell am i supposed to do now?
having the internet in one's own home is an amazing luxury.
saint james hotel!
i need to run into people later
either way

2008!

It's January 1st and I'm pretty excited about it.

My two best friends and I concocted what MIGHT be the best dessert ever eaten. We devised a way to create dessert sushi out of mangoes, kiwi, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, fruit rollups, rice krispie treats, pomegranate, and those little sugar crystal things (we chose orange so that it would make a good substitute-Tobiko).

It looked like this:

Tasty, right? I thought so.

Today we're having stuffed cabbage and black-eyed peas, because apparently they're good luck on New Year's Day.


Two more days in New York, then back to Boulder!
