Current status: Trying to get fjr to go in with me on a pair of lizards, which we would house on 10 to help control the outlaw cockroach population. It's part of my 3-step plan to suck up to Margaret.

the magic of student work groups

It's 2:32 pm and I'm free to leave. Is this for real? Hold me, I'm scared. I hear Myrtle. There must be some kind of a catch.

EB produced her office key and glanced warily in my direction.

"Hi Ellen -- Dr. Ellen -- hey!" I waved.

"Wrong side of the desk, Ward" Ellen muttered.

immediately.

I looked away from the bright library and toward Christine, who is a nice soft neutral color. And then she really straightened me out about some stuff.

summer

It's the middle of the semester, but I'm already neglecting core responsibilities to work on projects such as: an impressionistic slideshow of the maha mrityunjaya.

For example, "triyambakam yajamahe" would be a traffic light. Sugandhim is the steam that rises from manhole covers.

(I think) the pictures would have to be moonlit for contrast and the OneCard machine is bound to make a cameo somewhere ...

Hi Dr. Gorzesky,

I'm searching for a reference to a reputable auto mechanic in southwest detroit. Any suggestions?

Note: Yes, I'll gladly take a reference to an espanol-only mechanic. The language of cars is universal.

Hilary

p.s. It takes a real grown-up to ask for a mechanic reference well in advance of the next emergency. Time to reward myself by deleting 4 unread student emails.

Worst Case Scenario: Because a window was left open in a 9th floor faculty office, pipes have frozen and burst causing water damage to rooms 9313, 9312 and 9310. The water damage/flooding has moved down to floors below 9. Water has now been shut down throughout the building. We won't know the extent of the damage until tomorrow.
