Busy Busy Busy Weekend

A comment on Facebook after last Saturday's fiasco:
Dearest MSU fans, Michigan's football record against MSU is 67-29-5. By all means, rejoice over your first two-year streak since 1967! Then realize that you won't see half as many wins against us as we have against you in your natural lifetime. Ponder that.

I'm currently enjoying a tuna sandwich with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, hot sauce, and miracle whip. It is delicious.

I have so much to do for this week... an exam, 3 papers, 2 observations, and a ton ton ton of reading. And I thought writing this would be a good way to procrastinate.

On Friday, Nidhal and I headed to Grand Rapids so I could go to the MITESOL conference. The weather was awful on the way there... very rainy and wet. But we got there and the conference was ok. Between the conference, hotel, gas, and food, we spent well over $200. Plus, I lost two whole days of potential homeworking. Was it worth the ten extra-credit points? I don't know. The conference itself wasn't overly interesting, but I think the experience was valuable.

In Grand Rapids, they had just had a huge art competition. The winner got a $250,000 prize. Some of the art we saw included a floating Loch Ness monster in the Grand River, a huge table and chairs on top of a pedestrian bridge, screens with little videos of laughing babies, and various smaller sculptures.

My apartment is disastrously messy. Maybe I'll use cleaning/picking-up as an excuse to not do my homework... hmm...

We met my parents yesterday in Birch Run. ...That was nice. There was no shopping, but a free lunch was included.

And how can it be that four different things that I want to watch are on in the 8pm hour on Mondays? Two of which can not be found on the internet and the other two are iffy. WHY???
