So I picked up the anthology for the writing workshop/course I've been teaching at UCLA from the printers. I dropped them off at 3:00 today and had to beg them to get them prepared in time so I can give them to students tomorrow.
My students kinda worked my last nerve on trying to turn things in late and we spent two hours this morning in a computer lab on campus finishing the book.
I'm grateful that the printers were able to rush it and it certainly isn't glamorous. It is almost certainly cheap enough -- I ended up paying $66 for the whole job including covers and a spiral binding. But they didn't copy it correctly (it's not duplexed front to back) and I'm irked by that. But I'm not gonna complain given how rushed we were.
Now I'm writing the student's their evaluations.
I have had a great time teaching but I can't wait for this course to be done.
Also, PSA for nail polish

Good news about your father, Kat. I hope he picks the easiest option.
My CIO spells my name ITA. At first I thought she was shouting at me. Now I think she's probably just judging me. Hey, at least she noticed the capitalisation, and it does bother me less than iTA.
I am willing to go in with someone on a NUBAR order to hit the $75.
Me too (both for msbelle and ita!)
enjoyed looking at your project Kathy
glad the surgery went well for you dad , kat.
And glad you had some help msbelle

Guys, if you use Foundation or Diamont, buying the refill size is So Worth It. That'll hit yer 75 right there.
ION, this birthright citizen is NOT punching people in the face on the Internet for being wrongheaded and sanctimonious fuckwits.
Can I please have a cookie? Cause that was HARD, yo.
At this point, you can punch them -- that is if you're talking about my people. I've never been so disappointed in my whole life.
OMFG Greece research is kicking my ass. But I think I have a better handle on how I'm organizing all the info. Yesterday was kind of a messy infodump day, but now I have a better handle on it.
Which is good, because I landed a 2nd gig that starts tomorrow, so I will have to have great time management. Luckily, the 2nd gig involves lit mag submission guidlines -- WAY easier than the shitton of info I'm digging through for Greece and Turkey.
I'm learning a lot, though. Greek Islands for $1000, please, Alex.
