in a little more than a week

i'll be home!
november 24th, 11:45 PM, union station
(departure: november 24th, 4 pm somewhere in minneapolis)

my last week here, i can assure you, will make me actually miss home... like crazy. there's nothing quite like essays, problem sets, and exams to make a girl want to kick back and relax with everyone back home. i miss home cooked food, seeing people that aren't between the ages of 17 and 27, my room (that is my own... as in, just mine), and of course my little cuddly puppy... i really can't wait. the holidays, too, are ridiculously appealing right now.

as i finish this term off with a final paper for women and gender studies (due tuesday) and an essay for english (draft due tomorrow, revisions due next monday) and a paper assessing my leading discussion (due... i'm not sure when) and a problem set (due wednesday) and an astronomy final (to be taken between saturday and monday, by appointment)... i'll have you all on my mind. p.s. i just wrote all of those due dates out for some perspective, you can ignore it. i'm pretty self-serving, even when it comes to the family blog, i know. it might interest you to know that i've barely begun any of the above work :( :( :(

anyways, take care! i suppose i'll be seeing some of you on the 25th sometime after midnight! and the rest, sooner than later after that i hope! lots of minnesotan love!

Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage

Hi! Yesterday I gave my first lecture/presentation/demonstration/discussion on computers at Skokie Public Library. If you click on the title of this blog post you will get a link to the website where my presentation slides and hound-outs are. The name of the class is Everything You Wanted to Know about Storage.

It's nice to be able to share what I know with people who respect what I've been able to teach myself about computers.

It was a lot of extra work putting it together but I did it in the name of public service, well that's only half true, I actually did it because I thought it would be an interesting challenge, and now that it's all done with I'm very proud of it.

I hope everyone turns their music extra loud today and does a little dance, if not for me then just for the hell of it.

Rock on family!
