So it turns out I lied yesterday.

Apparently, I’m not exactly awake in the early morning hours, so this morning, I realized my mistake.  Just to clarify, Eric’s alarm goes off at 6:00 am, and his light comes on at 6:15 or so.  I think I had it backwards yesterday. 

Also, Eric was gracious enough to define for me the difference between geeks and nerds.  According to him, a nerd is just smart.  But a geek is smart and useful.  And a dork (for the other side) just lacks social skills that help him or her fit in well.  According to him, “you don’t want to be a dork.” 

Yesterday was not a bad day, but it had a lot of little annoying things in it.  Like I broke a nail well below the skin line trying to open my car door (my hand slipped).  And It took me all day (and lots of advice from my students) to get my ipod to play in my car.  You know, nothing major.  Just mildly annoying.

Classes went pretty well, I guess.  I got home about 4:15, which is always nice.  I made dinner and even graded some last night before sitting on the couch and watching television for a while in the evening.  I did end up knitting some, too, just so I didn’t feel like my evening was totally worthless!

Today’s plans are not terribly exciting.  I need to remember to put the garbage out. I should catch up my grading completely – it really won’t take long if I just do it.  I might run some errands.  I might start laundry.  But we shall see…  Happy Thursday!

  1. Those are VERY important distinctions. A nerd is not the BEST thing to be, but it is light-years ahead of being a dork. Oh, yes. Have you EVER gone back to Barnes and Noble with your book list? THAT is what you should do today. Trust me.  Rainy day+ new book =nirvana.
