Lesson Learned and Defiance!

Well, I never should have succumbed to hunger.  I plowed through about 20 midterms, working like a man possessed.  I may indeed be possessed, because the grades have so far been curiously high, but that’s another blog entry.  

Anyway, I decided that I needed greasy sustenance.  I needed chips, salsa, grilled veggies, tortillas and cheese, Grommit, cheese!  So, I contentedly packed up my adjectives (generally positive adjectives, as a mentioned) and started to leave the café.  

I should have known that the grading gods were going to punish me when the minute I unplugged the laptop, someone come up to me and said, “Hey man, are you leaving?  Can you save that table for me?”

“um, sure.  No worries.  Man.”  Save the table?

Anyway, I had a lovely greasy dinner that couldn’t be beat, but when I trundled back to the café, there was not one seat open.  Even the slightly smelly couch was cramped with crumpled coeds.

Poop.

So I hopped on my bike (luckily it stopped raining), and now I’m home.  It’s much more uncomfortable here.  No good chair.  No good table.  No good light.  No bottomless tea.  

But I shall persevere!  I shall continue grading!  

As god is my witness, I will tear through at least another 10 midterms before I sleep!
