Just another day

jazzfishRain rain rain. It was never very heavy, though, so the wet grass felt good on my feet and I got to laugh at all the ridiculous people with umbrellas.
S< today was a shop tour, of the "This is the bandsaw you're not supposed to get your hair caught in" variety. Yay. Le Guin remains cool and Tai Chi remains Tai Chi. I feel like I'm being overlooked when the instructors go around and correct people's forms. This may be because I'm doing it right, but they ignored me on Tuesday as well and it took me about twenty minutes to realise I was doing a mirror-image of what everyone else was doing. So I dunno. Maybe I've gotten myself straightened out.
Geography remains boring. I feel bad about dozing in the class, but it's a gigantic lecture class in an unairconditioned auditorium at the end of summer, and everything he's telling us is common-sense stuff. (Culture is NOT genetic, et cetera.) The professor is pretty cool, though, so I imagine if and when it gets to more interesting stuff I'll be okay.
Then on to my first day of shop work. Today I got to unhang lights with a couple of grad students. Yay me. The head lighting grad student reminds me a great deal of Sarah Schwarm, the single most competent theatre tech I have ever met. This is a Good Thing.
After, had Mongolian with E, Z, and Markush, and then cake & icecream for K's birthday. A good day. Tomorrow is errands, then work, then probably home to read more Le Guin.
