Woke up at 5:30 a.m. on Monday. Must have been first day jitters. Drank lots of coffee and diet coke to keep me going throughout the day. Came home and napped (okay slept, anything longer than 2 hours is NOT a nap). Been working on C&W materials and prepping for class tomorrow since I woke up. Since it's 2:30 I need to go to bed so that tomorrow is better. My plans for tomorrow are to finish prepping for 360 and work on paper for C&W, which is going to be different from the abstract because my project took a turn. Current research is looking at race and network theory. More on that later.

Took time yesterday and went to the movies. We saw The Matrix Reloaded. I was somewhat disappointed. It doesn't live up to the hype in my mind. I watched The Matrix on DVD before going to see the sequel and I really think that the first one was better!

I really need to update my currently reading list!

School is over and summer is beginning. That means that things will be a lot quieter in the GL area because all of the students are gone. I have to say that I really look forward to the peace and quiet of the summers around here, it gives me the chance to hang out at some of my favorite spots and read!

Guess what? I'm not writing (at least not scholarly stuff). With the semester drawing to a close, Maymester and C&W less than 2 weeks away, and general fatigue on my part, I am taking a little downtime. :-)
Maybe I'll go back to reading in the next day or so.

Found the first reading for the 360K course pack. I am keeping track of things on the academic blog so that I don't lose them :-)
. . .
Things to do tomorrow. Start on the 360K course pack (really!). That's it. Saturdays are supposed to be my down time, but since I slacked off today I will work for a little tomorrow and go back to full steam ahead on Sunday!

Test post using MozBlog for Mozilla in Linux :-)

Finished the diss chapter. Updated to Mozilla 1.3. Did nothing else. Skipped the gym (I'll go tomorrow). Gonna take some 360K books in front of the tv and do some deciding.
. . .
So, today I am really finishing up this diss chapter and going to do some reading. My reading will probably take the form of figuring out which articles to put in my 360K course pack rather than scholarly inquiry :-) I slacked off in a big way yesterday because I just wasn't motivated. I did however force myself to go to the gym between the cw-online presentation and the Lakers game! Considering the fact that they didn't have the game on at the gym I was extremely motivated to get my workout done!!

Added a comment function because the zonkboard was irritating.

I wonder what I'll actually get done today :-) For the last couple of weeks I have been on this weird sleep cycle where I am actually in bed by 2 but am up by 6:30 without the benefit of an alarm clock! This makes for a drowsy Samantha.
My plan for the day is to read (finish reading?) a dissertation chapter and then to read and work on a new book prospectus. The semester is drawing to a close and I want to get some of my own work done before Maymester begins.
At some point during the next week I need to be sure that my summer Gender and Literature course pack gets done. That will inevitably mean a struggle with the copy guy in the department. I swear that he hates me! Maybe if I ask Meredith to request my copies it'll go off without a hitch! I am also having tons of ideas about what I want to put together for summer (August) orientation for new GTAs. I know that I also need to redo the regular 505 course pack. The last one (now 2 years old) still rocks but there is so much new stuff that I want to include! Decisions, decisions!
. . .
Yes, I must have something better to do than to take a test to find out which dead white man I am.
