I can hear the party

There's a party going on across the hall from where I sit, in celebration of Dr. Cuneo's lifetime achievement award. Grad students and profs are making noise and enjoying cake and other delicacies. I wrote a nomination letter for Dr. Cuneo, but alas, did not get invited to the party. I hope nobody walks by me. Someone just walked by me.

Some guy just came to pick up his paper and I internally cringed, knowing that he would be disappointed with his 66% grade. He questioned it and I told him to think about it, look over the comments, and prepare some well thought out reasons for why he deserves a better mark. I hope he doesn't bother to pursue it when he realizes that his paper was crap. Crap!

Tonight I'm going out for another 'goodbye friend' evening - to Backstreet Bar and Grill where many a fun time was spent singing karaoke and stumbling around drunk with good ol' Ken, my don or 'Community Advisor' from residence. And tomorrow is the interview for that TESL course.
