Mm, minty fresh.
Well, another day, another something.
I woke up with a wonderful feeling of optimism. My first thoughts were reassuring myself that I didn’t need to stress out about getting to campus on time (my usual thought pattern) and that I could have a nice morning and get to class no problem. Which is exactly what I did. It’s amazing how much of the timbre of your day is determined by the outlook you assign it. So not only did the morning go well, but Quechua was enjoyable too. Learned an interesting statistic – we’re the largest intro Quechua class in the world! Or so my yachachiq says.
Only downside of the day was I also woke up with a big headache this morning, and it was pretty crappy. Thankfully I managed to score myself a nap when I got home and it went away! That never happens! Spent the rest of the day relaxing and getting small work done. And installing Mint! Working quite nicely. I know somewhere in my brain that I should be attacking this semantics paper from all fronts, but I just can’t seem to get past feeling like I need to calm down and take care of myself. I suppose when I put it that way, it doesn’t sound as ridiculous as it feels sometimes.
Ooh, also Lewis and I tried to make a Dojo-style noodle curry that would be all saucy and delicious. We’ve been failing pretty poorly with the saucy curries, though the results are always fairly tasty. Anyway, I was feeling the inspiration tonight, but to no avail. I found a decent recipe for a generic curry sauce, and it was tasty, but per usual not saucy enough for the masses of meat and veg we put in it. Oh Dojo noodles, why must you be so difficult to replicate? Or alternately, why must you be 5000 miles away? Or even, why are there no good noodle houses in Davis?
