Happy Robert Burns Day!
It wasn't much fun walking to work today, but it was even less fun walking home.
There had been a few centimetres of snow fall during the day so it wasn't easy to
see the ice under the snow, but I did make it!
Work itself was fun, but I did have one cancellation and many of my classes started
late. Two interesting things happened, a person who was thinking of leaving has decided
to stay but change classes and one of my students who is a devoted reader of this
page used one of my expressions in class today. She got it from this home page and
asked me why I used it. A while ago I had described the weather as "just awful" so
today I heard my student use it in class. It was really cool.
I stopped at the grocery store on the way home tonight and bought a few groceries.
I was surfing the produce department and I saw an actual zucchini (courgette for
you Brits). I haven't seen one in 3 years. I nearly bought it for nostalgia, but
since I have no plans to cook this week, I didn't.
Once at home I watched Cracker, played a few video games and then wrote this entry.
I'm still waiting for my apartment to get up to a decent temperature. My heater's
been on for an hour and a half and it's still only 17 degrees in here.
That's it for tonight. Have a good one.
