It was 93 degrees here today, which makes studying very, very challenging. Just a week and a bit to go.

I'm making oatmeal and flax chocolate chip spice cookies for our last day of classes. I think the Joy of Cooking recipe is broken, because I have to half the oatmeal and spit in the dough to make them stick together. But they're nice and chewy with my special improvisations.

I have had an incredible vacation. There's nothing like a root canal to make the world a gentler place.

I got three fantastic and one bum filling on my last dental tourist trip to Eugene (not a terrible rate of return for my plane ticket). Due to a combination of stress, tooth pain, and nervousness that my bum filling is going to fall out of my mouth, I clench my jaw. I've clenched my jaw for three months now, and surprisingly, my jaw hurts all the time. I've had a jaw ache for thirty six hours. Ugh. Dad is cleaning me up on Friday, so I should be cheerful for most of my vacation in Eugene. Hoorah!

I'm going to a recession wine party tonight, with the requirement that our wines are under five bucks. I've slightly altered my fine Spanish table wine to mimic a Cru Les Millades... and such a good year.

Procrastination is a virus that eventually spreads to each of my favorite work spots. For the first semester, I could sit at my desk and the living room table. This semester, I've burned through the living room couch and kitchen table. I think lying in bed eating oatmeal and doing work has lost most of its utility, too. I'm trying out the Waltham library now. Like most New England libraries, its old and beautiful and very quiet during the day. During the afternoon, high school kids come to use the computers and re-hash the three hours they were marginally separated by class schedules. Sometimes they open their homework and lay graphic novels over it. There's nothing quite like a public library.

There are some sentences you don't want a note from a housemate to begin with. It's true, My Liz threw a glass of red wine on my white couch. And I should have realized that the huge painting she recently completed of the couch was stained with a deep crimson color was an omen. But I'm sure the cleaner can get it out. And she says we get to bring the paintings from her show home, so even if the couch has a big wine stain forever, it will have its 2D twin for company.

I'm working on a policy analysis for a class about federal STEM education promotion programs. In the case of policy analysis, twelve ounces is never enough. Gregory Caswell and I are planning for cohabitation next year. That's all the news that's worth reporting from Waltham.
