More Progress

• Made it into the office for the fourth time this week. A new record!


• Discussed my teaching schedule. An excellent solution was found. Now there is a good chance that someone lower on the academic food chain will end up dealing with the most difficult aspect of my old schedule. But I have to look out for myself first.


• Finished cleaning my office. Found three dead roaches.


• Fussed a bit more with my course's web page.


• Decided to try reading an expository paper.


• Went to the used book store near campus. Meant to get Infinite Jest (because I'm not busy enough?); they didn't have it. Instead I got A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper. Some of the vignettes might make for a nice class discussion.


• The rest of the day is reserved for working on the house. Having boarded up windows is kind of dark.
