sitting in class

i really enjoy the fact that my GSI and most of the other members of this class are fairly convinced i pay attention. little do they know...

today is saint patrick's day, a day reserved for wearing green and drinking. people are stumbling out of Buffalo Wild Wings and Good Time Charlies like they're escaping the fall of Saigon. But not me. I am stone-cold sober, wearing a black button down, a vest, jeans and sneakers. no green to be seen. here is a list of things i have to do today:

go to the library and check out military strategy books
clean the kitchen
talk to my editor in chief about staff selections for next year
avoid going to work and doing pots and pans
read And the Band Played On because it might be the longest book ever written
