Seriously this schedule is going to kill me

I just had to be FOUR more students into my class because they can't get to clinicals thanks to the schedule problems. I'm now SIX students over and I don't even have chairs for them in lab. I'm pretty sure we're breaking the fire code.

And I couldn't move my friday lab because of the ball players. I feel sorry for them not only can't they get food like I mentioned yesterday with all these afternoon classes we were forced into they have to practice until 11 pm.

And I just told someone who isn't even my student (or even a science major) that I would be his thesis advisor. He's doing it on anime.

Teach me how to say no.

My TMJ didn't hurt once all summer. I've been back a week and I'm in SO much pain.

I really wish I could just sit at home and watch the 552 episodes of the Simpsons. It's on 2004-2005 and I missed a lot of those.

I did feel really sorry for a guy at the library today and thought about what it could mean for me. Please don't think I'm fat shaming anyone here, just relaying facts. I got to the library and there were two police cars and an ambulance. I thought they were trying to get the doors open so I ran to help and they told me to go in (there is only ONE public entrance and all the rest are for emergencies only). I said I didn't mind holding the door.

They told me they had to wait for more help. Puzzled I went in and between the two door sets is an extremely overweight man on the floor. He looks up at me with this piteous expression. I felt so bad for him (and personally thought the librarians should have propped open another door and told ppeople to go in there but they probably didn't have the staff to man it)

Not only is this poor guy on the ground, probably in pain, people have to parade past him. There was nothing I could do to help. THREE EMS workers and a cop were not adequate to lift him and they needed a second gurney to be lashed to the first because he was so big.

All I could think about is if I don't get things under control soon, that could be me. I lost weight over the summer but if I don't get more active that could be my future.

And in good news, I'm going to this next weekend (though I am a tad disappointed all they showed were the woman in the boobie busting bodices.) steampunk ball

random story ideas

just putting them here so they're somewhere.

Not so much ideas but snippets of something.

One isn't much more than the idea that it might be fun to use something dark like the exportation of criminals and rebels from England to Australia but make it purely a fantasy world. That Australia would be populated by some friendly people (which were missed when the 'euro-centric' people first 'discovered' the country) and some violent nasty things (that weren't missed). It would probably be 1700s tech with magic.

The other would be set in Point Pleasant (but NOT use the mothman), young woman, early 20s, I'm thinking teenaged mom (maybe thanks to date rape drugs, or just bad decisions, not sure yet), probably a student at my college (which would be incidental).

I know I would like it to be a ghost story or some evil spirit sort of thing. I was listening to a druid podcast this week and the guy was talking about being in the faerie realm (he believes it, i'm not sure I do) and how some aren't friendly, how some places just feel 'bad.' Now that I do believe. I've experienced that and Point Pleasant feels wrong. Yes it has been cursed by a Native American, Corn Stalk (yes for real) but that feels like something I'd rather downplay as both cliched and insensitive. But it might be interesting to see what the local Native tribes believed haunted the river front.
