I want a bread machine
Just so I can make Bread Machine Doughnuts. I am so craving sugar, and all the apples and grapes in the world aren’t helping.

Sometimes, it’s the little things.
Several groups on campus here are starting a SafeZone program, where the general idea is to “identify people and places where students can seek support free of bigotry and harassment”. Wonderful idea, and it’s been about a year in the making. At any rate, at the NSBE meeting I attended last night, a draft of the main race-related SafeZone documents circulated for approval. I took the time to read them out of curiosity. Of particular interest to me was the question “What is white privilege?” (I broke their frames in order to directly link to the page in question.) Their list is well worth reading and is highly enlightening, whether…

Even the cold was endurable
I had an amazingly nice run yesterday. I didn’t go in the morning—I’m just a lazy bum—but I went in the afternoon. It was in the thirties temperature-wise, and I learned just how ignorant I am of cold-weather running. I forgot my headband (for my ears) and gloves (although my jacket was baggy enough that I could pull my hands into the sleeves a little to let them get warm). The run was slow, but it was steady and it was long enough to be a pretty good workout. My legs didn’t complain (although I’m sore today) and my lungs primarily hated only the cold. I think I very much…

I have a reprieve on Wednesday and Thursday (purposefully scheduled on my part), but I still don’t get lunch on any day other than Wednesday, although I think T-dawg is going to give up his lunch to get me a sack lunch so I can munch through one of my afternoon classes before my four hours of lab. (When I’d finalized my schedule…

Hmm.
So I actually went out and drove around town today (yay!) and only had a couple of close calls. There was mad restarting in the drive-through of Burger King, and there was a pretty scary left turn at a busy intersection on the way home. But everything else went smoothly. *cheesy grin* Bad news is, though, that all the clutch use pulled on all the [formerly?] messed up muscles along the top of my left foot. So I definitely get to limit driving time until I strengthen those back up, because just shy of two hours of city driving was enough to give me a slight limp. Ugh. At least…
