Bring out the Violins...

Yes, I am deeply saddened by the fact that, as a result of working on my final article/paper for History and Theories of the Book (which took a good solid four days to write, at least -- and not including the research), I have a TINY little paycheck coming to me from the office. Actually it was supposed to come to me on the first, but that's how engrossed I have been with this paper -- I didn't even go GET it! I am now trying to work in a bunch of stuff that could be considered either "last-minute" or "finally gotten around to" to compensate for the hours I missed and try to resurrect some hope of financial gain. The good/bad news is that I don't think my full-summer class at the junior college is going to make, so I may have a whole month and a half off from teaching. And no university classes either! What ever will I do with myself with all of that free time? I might (and let's hope LT's not reading this) even be able to get around to doing some (gasp!) housework! And getting caught up at the office. Perhaps I can even exceed my ten-hour-a-week billing and actually make some extra cash (to compensate for the loss of the class, of course). Either way, it will be a HUGE difference from the past semester (even IF the class makes). I think I will celebrate by going to see H2G2 this weekend. Between, of course, my sister's boyfriend's graduation and after party and Mother's Day. See? It's always something...
