1) The odds of David Cook winning American Idol: -170. The odds of David Archuleta winning: +130. I don't understand those numbers, but apparently it makes David Archuleta the underdog. Regardless, in my opinion, he's going to win! He was great!
2) It is bizarre to have the weather go from hot to cold. I never seem to be dressed properly for the day. In the span of four days the high temperature went from 62º to 91º and today it's back down to 70º.
3) Online tracking shows that my graduate departmental application was delivered at 2:43 a.m. Who is delivering mail at 2:43 a.m., and who is receiving mail at 2:43 a.m.?
4) 20 days of school remain. But who's counting?
All the transcripts have been received, my applications to both the University and the Department are in, and now I just await the GRE on June 7.
Schwarzenegger revised his budget and the legislature will squabble over it for months. Staffing for the next school year has yet to be set, as the school board hasn't decided officially about the budget cuts, but the final layoff notices went out. I may or may not be in the same grade, same classroom (I hope not) and most likely still will lose many of my friends and colleagues at school. California public education is going down the tubes, let me tell you...
On a happier note, I am going to Texas at the end of the week! I will be studying for the GRE on the airplane. Besides spending time with my granddaughters, daughter and son-in-law, I get to get my hair done, eat grits, and go to CVS.
