ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Work:
*The Usual
*Actually caught up on attendance, which I missed yesterday, and writing seven billion cut slips sigh. Still need to do participation.
*Also graded a random Calc assignment, which means I only have two more assignments for them before I'm totally caught up. And some random participation and entrance tickets. Sigh.
*Worked with favourite student for an hour-plus after school today! That's always fun, I like her a lot.

Physical:
*Walked to therapy, because my bike is borked. Beat the 91, but only barely.
*Took a shower in the morning
*Went to squares and did a bit of dancing! Also I'm going to lead the grand march. I have not done this yet, so we'll see how it turns out.
*Added: The grand march went totally fine! We went up and down staircases! Somehow nobody died!
*Wrist is mostly feeling better. Still keep tweaking it, booooo.

Social:
*Went to squares! Chatted with random people
*Got called rude on the internet for telling a white man I wouldn't keep arguing with him unless he paid me. His retort was "should I invoice you for my valuable time then?" and then making ten more comments in the thread to other people. I am laughing my fucking _ass_ off.
*Gonna go curl up with Austin and do sleep! I guess this also counts as physical?

Personal:
*Wrote words without accomplishments list. Day 151 in a row, day 127 this year.
*Did some nice friendly social on dumb phone game. I liked it!
*I have now checked my email and done read-response for everything for two weeks in a row. I haven't made any forward progress on the endless pile of unread things, but for two straight weeks I've not made negative progress. I kinda like this!

Last night I went to squares for the first time in...over a semester. It was nice! I danced in the hack tips, and I got to Rounds dance with a couple people, and I led a Grand March that was a little unpolished but probably not awful. I have a new working theory (determined with the help of my therapist) that it's really hard to fuck up a Grand March so badly that it Cannot Be Saved, and it was nice to (unintentionally, I promise!) see that in action.

I continue to never have friends or time for friends and/or friendship, but I think this counts as two unusual social things I've done in a week (hanging with bellsfolks doesn't count --it's definitely appreciated and good for me, but doesn't count as unusual anymore) which is a hugely good track record. I think my ongoing mood will maybe reflect that? I don't know, I've been in a really dark place the last two or three days(weeks), and it's not fun.

(On Saturday I went to the strip dreidl party and had a pretty nice time. People liked the clever joke I wrote on my tits1 and there were many good latkes to eat and it was nice to have chattytimes, even if it was mostly not with anyone I know really well or feel super intimate towards.)

There's a party this weekend that I haven't RSVPd to and haven't definitely decided to go to, but I think I would like to go to. And there's a _lot_ of bells stuff --four quarter peals on Saturday (I'm tenoring for one of them) and tower cleaning on Sunday. I need to do a little more Christmas shopping (I still don't have anything really good for mom, but then again, she hasn't sent out a list HINT HINT) this weekend too, but I think that'll be sorta in and around bells stuff.

And that's where I'm at. My brain is really painfully not good right now, but I'm hiding it by lots of enjoying(?) and being good at(??) my job. Tonight is laundry and grading, and tomorrow and Friday are FRANTIC PREPARATION OF THE EVIDENCE FILE, but at least I don't have my Unit Four lessons hanging over my head anymore2

I hope you are well! I would like to see you, but I'm probably not willing to make/commit to specific plans until the new year at this point (unless you're wabbit and live near Dallas and would be willing to hang between the 23rd and 1st)

1: "It's okay Tumblr --I'm not female and neither are these!" and then I had arrows pointing at my nip nops. I am Very Good at humour or something.

2: Except insomuch as I'm not sure if I count for having submitted them on time or not. I submitted them on Dec7 around 5PM my time, they need to be in "six months before the Unit 5 test" which is June 8th. Of course, 5PM my time is like 10PM Scotland, and then they weren't in the office on Saturday and Sunday so I had an email bright and early on Monday telling me my Unit Four stuff was received...but does that mean it was in time? No one knows!

I told my therapist straight up that if Scotland decides to be that petty with me, then I will go ahead and flex my power until they burn.

So this weekend was the annual Tech Squares weekend hosted at East Hill farm up in New Hampshire. It was just under forty-eight hours of dancing, gaming, good food and excellent socialization. I slept for approximately five of them.

As a reference, I currently know the Modern Western Square Dance calls through A2. Square Dance levels go Basic, Mainstream, Plus (where anyone who graduates Tech Squares knows); Advanced 1 and 2; Challenge 1, 2, 3A, 3B, and 4.

Because I think it might be a more interesting way to do this sort of thing, awesome-good-meh-bad-ugly list! Reverse order, to end on a positive note.

I use a lot of terminology that I don't bother to define. Do ask if you need help with a phrase! )

Overall assessment? Doubledoubleplusplus, and I *will* be back next year for more. Thanks to everyone there who made it just about perfect, and I can't wait to see you all again --next Tuesday, next month, or next East Hill!

I'm gonna get a job, because I want a place to live, which is going to destroy the hell out of this schedule. But that's okay, we can live with that.

And did you know that "Veronica" and "Vericon" are _practically_ anagrams? Also, if I'm going to go to Vericon, I really must work on the appropriate cosplay. Sunshine, ho!

1: Dude, NonCon is _such_ a terrible name for it. But I've been wanting to go since, oh, 2005.
