this is as close as i get to epiphany today: outside of leadership lab, dr. huck is actually a very nice man. i got to leadership early today and i sat down outside the classroom. he apparently let his 9am class out early too, and as he passed me he stopped and had an actual conversation with me. the man is actually capable of a genuine, warm smile. when he got on the elevator, he said 'glad to see you,' and i think he meant it. really nice guy. :)

terrifying thought... how unbearable would leadership be if we didn't have half decent professors? (i'm thinking more of perruci here, but still..)

the kiss-kiss bears are evil! they were maufactured purposefully so that the bears of the same sex magnetically repel each other. rrrrrr...

tomorrow i have my first students coming into the speech lab, and i'm really kind of nervous about it. i know what to do with the 101 kids, but these are from 420 and 202... and if they have some sort of unique self-critique form i haven't seen it. but not a big deal. i'll just go in 10 minutes early and hopefully liz can tell me everything i need to know... hopefully. i'm just used to fucking things up, i guess.

okay, i guess that was about it. josh and lani: good luck on your outlines! don't stay up too late :) 4am is a good hour, i say... and josh, i really hope you don't have mono! hang in there, all...

the song i was writing is left undone. i don't know why i spend my time writing songs i can't believe, with words that tear and strain to rhyme.

and as i watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die, i know that i am like the rain. there but for the grace of you go i.
