and then there was more

-3.7° last night; yesterday we got close to the melting point, all the way up to -1.6°. The snow has already let off this morning, which is earlier than forecast, tho' college is closed until 1pm and all classes are closed through 3:30... oh wait, it's snowing again.

On the other hand, we've already hit yesterday's high temperature, and it's only 10:30.

Mmmm, zero-content weather blogging. I should go study Japanese instead.


Remember These?

I have got to learn to allocate schoolwork resources better.

Okay, so, we had this bio/botany assignment, it's due tomorrow, it's basically "take this clock-shaped geological timeline and make it linear." Oh, and "add a few other events to it." It's pretty empty-headed, quite frankly, and I think the only real point is to impress upon students who Don't Get It what the relative times are compared to things like how long human history isn't.

Anyway, the professor said to "get creative with it" and that one student had used a football field (I think by analogy - he said not to use a football field for real) and another had done their timeline on a roll of adding machine paper. So I kind of decided that it might be interesting to approach this assignment from a fabric arts viewpoint.
