Class Dismissed

I guess it’s time that I updated. I wish I could say I’d been on vacation, or some other fun reason for not updating but alas that would not be the case. But I am happy to report that I survived teaching the summer class and actually managed to get all their papers and exams graded and I even posted their grades. My motivation you ask? Being able to say I’m really finished and not having to spend a chunk of a well deserved weekend grading. We are supposed to go see the Blue Angels at the airshow.

I often feel like this part of CT is stuck in radio purgatory. I grew up listening to WBRU which I love, and which absolutely will not come in here. Then there was a few months of excitement when a Boston alt rock station (WFNX) broadcasted locally until I woke up one morning to sports talk radio. Let me repeat that sports..talk..radio.. THAT CRAP SUCKS!!!! Leaving essentially the oldies station from the casino which might be nice except that it really doesn’t come in either, odd since I can actually see the casino from my house, and the jammin’ hip hop station (I don’t think so). Recently I bought a cord to connect my computer to my stereo out of desperation to listen to my itunes, but today I finally had a revelation… yeah I know I’m slow. Both my favorite stations are streaming online! Sweet! So, now as long as I’m near a computer I can listen, I’m a total music junkie. Of course this doesn’t help in the car, but I guess you can’t have everything.

However, as I’ve been listening and writing the weather report may mean a weekend inside not enjoying all the things I meant to by getting all my grading done :o(
