I'm really glad that I'm giving a midterm today. It means that I don't have to teach anything, and while they all take their test, I can do my own work and not have to be "on." I say this because for some reason I did not sleep well last night, and woke up this morning with a pounding headache. This headache is slowly going away (thanks to some prompt pounding of Excedrin), and hopefully is won't come back.
I had dreams about the wedding. I had dreams about the TiVo which I bought and which is arriving today.* I woke up several times because it was so damn hot in my apartment (some of that waking up came from the heat turning on, which is very very loud). It's not really that cold yet, and I may have to shut the valve on the radiator right now because it's the perfect temperature at night with my comforter.
I only had a couple of panicky emails from students this morning, so I'm hoping they are all ready for the exam. I know they are dreading it, so I feel a little bad. At the same time, once it is over, they'll feel better. Of course, when I said that to them yesterday, one responded, "Haven't you ever heard of PTSD?" That's right. Apparenly my exam is like war to them.

* This could be it, because of this arrival, it feels like Christmas. I cannot wait to get rid of the stupid Cablevision DVR because it is a piece of crap.
