threeplusfireCalhoun apparently has a rat problem. Some rats were stealing chocolates from a professor's office, and maintenance set traps in the ceilings. Professor L. tol dme that on Friday night, the rat who usually scurried through the wall past his office got caught in the trap. Unfortunately it crushed the rat's skull, and it was there all weekend. So Professor L. had blood all over the place and the smell of dead rat. When I was in there today, it still smelled of industrial strength disinfectant. I watched him dust his office for a little while after my Czech exam. (Which Professor P. says I passed quite well already!) We talked about madness and journal articles. Perhaps the most sane, comfortable, enjoyable conversation I've had all week. This is why I like him. He talks to me and somehow it is different from everything else in my life.
Tomorrow we're having a little Czech party with cookies and kolaches. Yum. Professor C. invited me to the end of semester Czech drinking party Saturday night, so I suppose I will go and watch my professors drink & debate the number of Czech words for shit or some other sociolinguistic nonsense. I love these parties.
Two more exams and then I'm done with the semester. Still debating if I should take the optional astronomy final next week. I really don't want to, but it could possibly help my grade a little. I wonder if the grades for tomorrow's exam will be posted by Tuesday? Who knows. It's scantron, so it should be easy but the TAs procrastinate often. Deb and I decided we will celebrate the end of semester with Chinese food and Amy's ice cream. Last time we went, I had the most wonderful almond ice cream with chocolate chunks crushed in.
