vorindi | Random things in a list

The refreshments at the math department holiday party included bear meat. It mostly tastes like roast beef.
I have finished my schoolwork for the semester, to one extent or another, and now can think about other things. Such as actually making the various family Christmas presents that I had brilliant ideas for months ago, and now realize I need to actually make.
I still have to do teacher-things, though, such as have office hours and compile grades. And proctor and grade the final exam.
The window in the room all of my classes were in this semester does not close all the way (there's a quarter-inch gap between the window frame and the top of the air conditioner). It's REALLY COLD in there.
It's not exactly warm in my apartment, either.
I suppose I could turn on the heat.
Or just put on more layers. That's what usually happens.
There is a potluck on Sunday. I will be bringing the peppermint meringues, which are looking a little battered from me having to bring them to things.
I should start my giant outline preparatory to yet another rewrite project for It's Still Desertion (otherwise known as my nano). That would be a good use of time. Or something. And maybe I'd end up with a draft that I would be willing to edit instead of rewrite.
