High Ho, High Ho
Aug. 10th, 2007 10:12 pmLots to do, so little inclination to do it.
I finished the syllabus for the class on Asian American Women. I decided to split the 15 weeks into Part I: history, politics, sociology, and Part II: popular culture. Most of the reading will be from articles that I need to scan into pdf format. And I just spent ONE HOUR scanning two articles (approx. 30 pages) only to discover, when I converted the images into pdf, that the sucky, stinky scanner had cut off portions of pages! Argh! The missing portions aren't even from the top or bottom; they're from the edges. *grinds teeth* I will have to take the mess of anthologies and books to campus and use the library media center to scan the articles. Stupid, shitty scanner.
I also decided this week that the money I get from selling items on Craig's List will go towards paying professional movers. I had hoped to save some of that money by hiring a truck and getting either day laborers or friends to help me get stuff loaded and unloaded. Unfortunately, that also depended on my doing some "light" moving before the end of the month whenever I went down to Irvine. However, my new roommie is too stressed out with studying for her exams (which I completely understand) to make room for my boxes o' stuff, and so she'd rather I waited until the last week of August to move. Well, that kind of time crunch means that I would be doing a lot of back-and-forth for the last week of August, and I'm just not up for that physically, emotionally, psychologically, not too mention my poor car isn't up for that either. I decided to save myself some mental and physical stress by hiring movers rather than doing it myself.
And I just got back from dinner at Todai's with my family. We celebrated my mom's birthday with an orgy of sushi. I'm now fit to burst. Ugh. Too full, too full, about to explode! Food coma. Must sleep it off.
