list for Wednesday

Somewhere in my apartment building, a smoke alarm has been blaring for (no joke) the last hour or so. Because it's summer, everyone's windows are open, so pretty much the whole block can hear it. Usually, the alarm stops within 30 minutes, so I wonder if it's coming from one of the vacant units.

Today has been a fairly good day. Practicing cello, while never really "fun," was definitely therapeutic and relaxing. It calmed me down. Cello, some afternoon CSI -- good stuff! A little "This American Life," a little "Meet the Press." :D

You can tell when summer vacation is ending and school is starting again by the inbox. I've been checking it every few weeks or so, but have amped it up in the last week. Today, three red flags popped up when there used to be none. Mail! Glorious mail! Discussed furniture arrangement for the classroom with my classroom roommate and potential tweaks to the way we teach the major religions. School is starting soon! Hooray!

On to Wednesday's list!
* the saga continues: finish and polish the rubric. Should I even bother putting this on the list anymore?
* sweep and mop. Here's the problem, it's too damn hot to do housework. I spent NINE HOURS last Wednesday cleaning out my closet and was completely gross at the end of the marathon because it was so hot in the apartment. I'm not sure if I'm up for even the lightest of housework.
* gym
* TRIVIA NIGHT with Whitney and Dave! I believe there will be sangria/drink before then. :D

Sometime this week, I'll have to bring myself to reread "Siddhartha" to refresh my memory.

It seems that I have been going to the gym consistently now. :) Trivia night was awesome, as usual. Some tricky questions that we should've gone with the simple answers but instead chose the less obvious. I think our team ended up somewhere in the middle, score-wise. It was a mixed-bag of a day. It started out great, but I felt a little down in the afternoon and went to the gym to distract myself. The night ended with trivia. :)
