dear blog

Dear blog,

Hullo. I have not forsaken or forgotten you. It's just that vacation is winding down, and--like every semester--I forgot how much work it actually is to build a new calendar: syncing the old lesson plans with the new lesson plans, switching the classroom-computer lab schedule to the computer-lab-classroom schedule, fielding eight hundred emails from prospective students wanting to transfer into my already full course because if I don't let them they will never, ever graduate college and will probably end up like that golden-voiced homeless guy in Columbus, only minus the heart-warming second chance.

Also, blog, it is that time of year when winter turns from charming and novel houseguest into the roommate from hell. The kind who eats all the good snacks, and clogs the toilet, and leaves mystery hair everyplace, and orders adult movies through the cable box so that January's itemized bill reads

BASIC CABLE $60
INTERNET $20
HORNY DUMB SLUTS $9.99
HORNY DUMB SLUTS 2 $19.99
HORNY DUMB SLUTS 3 $19.99
HORNY DUMB SLUTS 4 $19.99
HORNY DUMB SLUTS 5 $19.99
HORNY DUMB SLUTS 6 $19.99

Personally, I'm looking forward to the fact that I have just ensured that any internet search for "horny dumb sluts" will include this blog. Take that, "dead bitches"! 

But seriously. It's January. Also on my mind are the following fun facts:

1. On the day I turn 30, my employment contract ends.
2. It's cold out.

So I'm going to keep plodding through this big to-do list, blog, and then I'll be back shortly with some updates on the new semester. Pretty soon I will be back to wearing different pants and leaving the house each day, so hopefully that will help. In the meantime, don't get any ideas about ordering movies on demand. Seriously, that shit is free online.
