Finally made it to spring break, and the first thing I do is get sick. Woke up Saturday with a sore throat and generally feeling icky; Sunday I felt like warmed-over crap and just croaked around on the couch all day, sending the Spousal Unit out for soup and sodas and junk food.
Today I was lively enough to shower and dress, so I must be on the mend. Guess it wasn’t the Flu from Hell that’s been going around.
While I’ve got you here, let me point you over to Match It for Pratchett. You may not have heard that Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which really sucks. Pratchett’s donated £500,000 to research on the disease (that’s about $1 million in U.S. money nowadays), and his fans are doing their damndest to meet or exceed that amount.
Go, now, and toss in a buck or ten, because
- Alzheimer’s sucks, and I want a cure before I or anyone I know get it
- Terry Pratchett is a brilliant writer and it would suck to not have any more Pratchett books
- Alzheimer’s sucks, and it gets 3% of the funding that cancer research gets
- People are living longer and longer these days, and do you really want the majority of the population to need full-time care because they’re no longer compos mentis?
- Did I mention Alzheimer’s sucks?

The presentation in Practices is over with. Sweet Studious Boy was preparing with his group at the same time my group was going over our notes, so he’s evidently decided to stick it out. I’m glad he didn’t drop the class.
After we’d done our presentation I was finished for the day, so I headed back to my little Honda Fit—and discovered a little red Fit had parked next to my little gray Fit. They were so cute I had to take a picture. Well, maybe it was just an excuse to take a picture of mine.
Got my Intermediate test back, and our Controls instructor posted the grades for that test—A’s on both. Holy crap! I was figuring I’d get a C on Intermediate, or maybe a B.
And now the spring break week stretches ahead of me. Plenty of time to work on the Practices project, the Ethics paper, the Intermediate and Controls extra credit projects, and maybe get ahead on the Software classwork a little bit.
Er… wait, wasn’t there supposed to be a break in there somewhere? Oh, well.
