i wore my new scarf to the department today, when i went to turn in a very late paper. unfortunately, having spent so many years perfecting the art of sneaking into departmental buildings and avoiding figures of authority, i succeeded so well that i met no one on my trip, and therefore had no compliments to report on this blog.

tomorrow is the weekend and it will be frantic packing, last minute errands, cleaning the room, and finishing up another paper, not to mention last minute studying for the exam on monday. i am in a state of utter exhaustion. i recall this very thing happened to me last year. perhaps i'd better not schedule any flights directly after exams, or else it would make much more sense not to take a class that involves finals. but classes with finals ought not have final papers as well! bah!
