Day Off Day Off Day Off
Today is President's Day. The University is closed. I have decided that (aside from writing four letters of recommendation for four students for four entirely different things) I am taking the day off. I got all of the grading done for one of my classes. It took me the better part of Saturday and ALL of yesterday to do it. But, it's now done and I am caught up. Ugh.
The other class has one assignment to grade. Personal fairytales, myths and legends. Though they'll most likely be long, they will also be a blast to read, and I can have a nice time with grading those. I would have had more grading for that class, but my wonderful, wonderful TA took the last bit of other stuff. Bless her heart. Since I don't have to give those papers back until Wednesday, I'm waiting to grade them until tomorrow. I've got a couple of other things I need to get to (like entering grades in the spreadsheet) but basically, no school-related stuff today. I'm OFF.
I started the day out by sleeping in. That was very nice indeed. Though the sun was so bright coming through the blinds that I was sure it must be 10 or 11am when I woke up. It was 7:40. So I snoozed for another 20 minutes, snuggling with Quickly. Very nice for both of us.
While making breakfast, I worked on one of my Imps. Remember this guy? Here's what he looks like now.
Imp Ious
Since the day I first wrote about him, he's acquired a couple of friends.
Imp Erfect & Imp Enetrable
I made them all this summer and finally painted two of them a few weeks ago, but I'm waiting to figure out what to do with the third. He needs to look like rock, and I just can't decide on a base color. This morning, I added contour to the red one, and was all set to do the same for the green one when I realized I'd mixed that green myself and there was no way I was going to be able to match it. So now I have to decide if I want to do the contour in dark blue or figure something else out.
Sigh.
So here I am. I could do anything today. It's a holiday. A day off. The whole day is before me, ripe and full of promise. No worries, no requirements, no demands, no duties. Only trouble is, I don't know what to do with myself.
