I do wish students did not procrastinate. The pressure from this is giving me chest pains... And then I get cranky and snippy because I can't stay after Thursday and possibly Friday to help and then I feel bad about that and I have a sore throat and I want the students to take all this seriously and not be pulled in directions they should not be pulled in and .....
Oh dear, I think I need and egg nog (non-alc), Millie on my lap and a good Christmas special... Millie is on my lap right now but I am still stressing over work and the apple cider in the glass is gone...
At last night's town meeting, I sort of was acknowledged for bringing up the litter issue to the town and getting them to up the fines. Of course they could not say my name and thank me but there was that brief comment and I was happy. I would be happier if they actually adopted the rewritten codes I submitted, but that is not acceptable as an outsider.
Been thinking quite a bit about this outsider status I wear like a noose. I will always be one at PV because I wasn't here "back then" - so 9 years isn't long enough? - and will always be one in town because I wasn't born here - though it is a freak town and by definition I should belong - and I feel like I belong in DC.... Just do not make the money needed to live there.... sigh....
Oh well... dinner time...
