A Quibble, A Question, and A Quest...Yea, Verily

Oh, Blackboard. Thou failest me in my hour of need.

It figures, of course, that the website my teachers rely on for organizing their classes, assigning work, and generally being all fashionably tech-savvy, should stop functioning properly on the first day I have a quiz in one class, and receive a homework assignment in another. To be more precise, in my two hardest and most terrifying courses, the previously-mentioned Physiological Psychology, and, possibly worse, my class on ANOVA. For you lucky uninitiated, that's ANalysis-Of-VAriance, a particular format of upper-level statistical testing used in a number of science-y disciplines, and a required course for me because of my ill-advised Psychology major. Blargh.

Peevish whining aside,what a day! Woke up to three inches of snow and a mischievous nor'wester. Felt the distinct urge, for the first time this semester, to get my hands on a second cup of coffee by midmorning. Didn't act on it, though, being in class and having no money on me and all that jazz. But that brings me to an interesting point that's been nagging me for some time: my blog is entitled "Coffeepot Capers", yet where's the coffee? Where's the caffeine-laced randomness I promised from the start? With that in mind, I promise that my next post, whenever it may be (but hopefully in the next 3-5 days), will finally touch upon the topic of that oh-so-naughty-and-necessary bean that is at the core of the college experience.

Until then, may your scarves stay knotted and your pencils sharp! That your coffee should stay hot goes without saying...aw, shit.

  1. yeah i got an email from truman about blackboard being down. "sucks" is probably an understatement. I'm glad it's snowing SOMEWHERE in the world though. Nothing but cold rain here.
