12/05 update. . .

I tried to do this earlier, but the router got funny and just as I tried to post the completed entry our internet dropped out.

It has been getting white and fluffy outside again today. It is pretty, but can be nerve-wracking to be driving on the wet sloppy when the driver's side mirror pops out of its mooring and begins flapping on the side of the truck on one's way to write a calculus final.

At least in the Westsyde area we are some what sheltered from the wind. As I got closer to school and the Siberia. . .uh, , um. . . Sahali side of town it was NASTY out. Cold and windy.

Once seated at my desk I was dumbfounded by the first question on the final. After 2 hours and 40 minutes I had had enough and stepped out into the cold and dark. I was met by several classmates on the sidewalk. Several of the kids commented the first thought they had was; Is this the right one? I knew EXACTLY what they were saying because I had the same fleeting thought followed quickly by the sinking feeling that it was the right test after all. We are all hoping for a generous number of "mercy marks".
