Truthful Tuesday - the (mostly) hockey edition

It’s that wonderful time of the year when I get to fall asleep every night to the sound of hockey.
Too bad the Sabres didn’t make the playoffs. They were close, but they didn’t really deserve it anyway.
Good to see a lot of original 6 teams to root for. Except the Bruins, cuz fuck them. And the Wings. And the Rangers. And the Canadiens. I may need to rethink this rooting strategy.
Basically, go ‘Hawks because of Patrick Kane (Buffalo boy done good).
Speaking of which, I had a conversation about what would happen if the two most famous Buffalo athletes (Kane and Rob Gronkowski) partied together. Basically, it’d be an epic shit show. Especially if they bring their brothers and cousins.
Got some music fun coming up for y’all in May and some more coming up when the school year winds down a bit more. I’m irrationally excited about these.

Truthful Tuesday - Thesis Edition

Ok, so I decided to turn my last post into a Truthful Tuesday because, who knew, it’s Tuesday.

I emailed my thesis to my first reader a month ago and he had it back to me with copious comments in four days.
I emailed my thesis to my second reader on March 31 and he got it back to me today. With that, he included a copy of formatting rules and told me that when it was properly formatted he would read it. And could I please have this done by TOMORROW?! Seriously? You sit on it for two weeks and ask me to make inane formatting changes in one day before you’ll read it?
I need to have it to the department chair (with signatures - no idea how I’m pulling this off since I live in CT and the college is in Buffalo!) by April 26. Then I get to find a printer and get it sent back to Buffalo by May 10. I see much postage in my future.
Aside from this, I have an observation in school on Monday that I need to prepare a useless pre-conference form for on Friday. Like I have time for this.
At this time - no room in my brain for anything else.

My work week is officially over.

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and a “recovery” day on Thursday.

Friday is Good Friday, so no school.

Five Day Weekend!!!

It takes me at least half way to the label

‘fore I can even make it through the night

I’m a fighter, I’m a poet, I’m a preacher
I’ve been to school and baby, I’ve been the teacher

I’ve got electric light

And I’ve got second sight

Got amazing powers of observation.

I’ve listened to preachers
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules

When I finish my thesis and when I get ahead in my classes a bit, I want to read the following:

I miss reading.

I’ve never changed my Tumblr name or picture even though most of my other social media stuff is under bflopete with a different picture.
I’m kind of excited to see the Giants and Tigers in the World Series. It makes me forget that I’m a Bills fan and there is no hockey.
~~I have figured out~~ Someone else has figured out what I’m going to be for Halloween. At school, the English Department all dresses as a group. You’ll see. Maybe.
I have two weeks to finish the first draft of my thesis. However, I can postpone it until next semester with no consequences. Duh. I’ve already put it off for 12 years - what’s another couple months (although, I do have most of it already written - I just don’t need to kill myself to finish it is all).
In a month, I need to drive to Buffalo for a day, take a Comp Exam and drive back. Joy.
I have an appointment for a root canal on Thursday. No biggie, but I’m thinking I’m going to take Friday off and make it a long weekend. Sounds like a plan.
