I like my life right now :-)

I watched V for Vendetta last weekend. Why had I never seen it before? Maybe because of silly friends who didn't like it. But I actually really, really liked it. "A Revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having." "Apparently a fake ID works better than a Guy Fawkes mask." Haha-so great.

In not-loving-all-of-life news, I've been grading like there's no tomorrow. Which, actually isn't true, because if there were no tomorrow, I would not be grading. There wouldn't really be a point. But, anyway, yesterday I graded ten papers, and I already had eight finished, so that leaves . . . a lot. About 27? So I'm hoping for 22 today and the last five tomorrow morning.

But some things make life happy even when grading is eating your life. :-)

Anticipation

Je suis malade. Meaning, I'm sick. In French :-P

I don't think it's the flu because I don't have a fever; I'm just really dizzy and had a headache and queasy stomach this morning. So I'm hoping it goes away quickly. The dizziness is a little better now, which means I might actually get some grading done this afternoon (. . . yay? . . .)

I am so very ready for Thanksgiving break. A full week home with my family! And . . . Christmas can start after Thanksgiving! I'm so excited to come back to my apartment and set up my Christmas tree and listen to Christmas music and eat Christmas cookies! Ooh-and snow! I'm actually excited about snow! We've already had so many wet and rainy cold days that now I feel like if we're going to have cold, we should at least get some snow with it.

Ooooh, and in less than two weeks--I get to see RENT! With Adam Paschal and Anthony Rapp! I love, love, love Adam Paschal's voice. Anthony Rapp, too, but when Adam Paschal sings "One Song" or "What You Own," my heart melts. A lot.

I may be feeling miserable, but life is awesome.
