mandolinOkay then. The last five days in review:
1) Babysat a five year old typhoon of adorable for 20 hours.
2) Cleaned up post-typhoon going back to her folks, and dug out all the leaves trying to choke my plants to death in the back yard. (Except for the ones in the ivy, which tries to choke everything else so turnabout is fair play.)
3) Spent Easter morning at Grandma's in an emergency capacity and to keep the dog from freaking out while my aunt worked. Caught up with family, ran home to pick up some things and grab sodas to bring to Easter dinner.
4) Went back to work. Wondered why people keep thinking it's a good idea to keep trying to put me in charge of stuff I don't understand when we're on a compressed schedule.
5) Class. ...I got a 78% on the midterm due to blanking on SLIDES I REVIEWED A DOZEN TIMES WTF. Have discovered that at least half the articles I found for the project paper are Sir Not Relevant To This Topic. *sigh*
6) Got home, pulled into the driveway and... someone had mowed my front lawn. Not the next door neighbor. Weird. So I went inside, dumped my bags by the door, wandered into the kitchen. Which was clean. Backpedaled into the dining room because there were cookbooks there that I hadn't left there. And an Easter basket complete with deaf chocolate bunny. And a quilt rack with the quilt Mom made me hanging on it. And the house was clean, and vacuumed, and there was quiche and a dyed Easter egg in a cup in the fridge and a container of Irish cream.
The moral of the story is: MY MOM AND STEPDAD ARE AWESOME.
And Mom has an unhealthy addiction to the ears of my chocolate bunny rabbits.
Hope you all had a Happy Easter.

Date: 2008-03-26 08:13 pm (UTC)But it was really obvious stuff that I'D STUDIED. I remembered the slides but couldn't connect the topics. So stupid. I wouldn't be so pissed if my mistakes were comprised entirely of honest mistakes like trying to mash three search algorithm techniques that we'd never really tried in concert together, but I was just pissed off. And it means I need to get like 100 on the final because I don't expect to be able to pick up the slack in the group paper.
