I rocked the exam…this is very good. Plus he drops the lowest quiz grade, I get extra credit for bringing in music with transcription and I wrote a 3 page paper on the languages of Panama before class which also broght me in 7 extra credit points (he complained slightly of spelling and grammar…there was one spelling mistake, in that I left off an S and had to hand write it in…such is life so now I just have to find my Swahili homework (no, I don’t speak it, no I don’t study it, but bless Typology, I can damn well do homework on it) and scan it in and email it to him…but first, I really need dinner.

In other news, I’m finally able to pull my backup drive to my hard drive (since I can now, once again, use a firewire drive) so I didn’t loose all of my photo work which makes me incredibly happy. I’ll have to scale it down tomorrow and upload it to LJ.

In other news Do Laundry & Pack…I fly to NYC tomorrow night for three weeks (well two weeks there and one week in Florida).

A real update soon…as in…tonight…just as soon as I’ve taken care of the above three things. Oh and I have to write an action plan for something else…it’ll all be in the big post.

Anyways, time to make like my ancestors and forrage for food.

Back with Mac

Subject: Back with Mac

Date: Wednesday 8/9/06 12:13:00 PM

Music: None…it’s a Library

Location: Lockwood Library, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, USA

Wow, what a day.

First, I’m back with Mac…I was tired of not being able to run the linguistics software I wanted to (and considering my department uses Mac’s for everything, it’s a wise choice). Secondly I have my final exam in 6 hours 20 minutes and a final quiz in five hours and twenty minutes and then I’m done for this summer session…I think I’ll get a B but we’ll see…I’m not too cocky about this one.

I got to speak in Arabic this morning to a cab driver…that was fun, most of them here only speak English and the majority in NYC speak Urdu.

Anyways, Final Quiz and Exam, then Laundry, then getting ready to leave for NYC Tomorrow for three weeks (though technically, one of those weeks will be spent in Florida helping my Grandmother move into an assisted living residence).

Lots to update on, including the Wedding. Poppy, I have stuff to share with you when next we’re on-line.

Okay, peace out.
