(no subject)

Today, I have updated my ipod (this is a significant task because I can't move things directly from the external hard drive to the mp3 player, in spite of having tried repeatedly in many ways for many hours over the last month or two). I saw Ghostbusters for the first time (it was pretty amusing). I went ice skating. I cleaned the kitchen a little. I did yoga with Emily (we are totally going to make this a habit).

And I did, uh, about one and a half 14.01 practice tests (and now I know what I don't know and need to study/learn).

Now if only the lengths of those lists went the opposite way around...

Also, omg it is 2am, I swear I meant to force myself into some sort of asleep-by-midnight sane finals sleep schedule by now... oops.

annnnnd to totally up the productivity

Today I did half a 14.01 test and then went caroling for four hours. It was seriously amazing, I got to be the only alto who actually knew the Carol of the Bells and felt amazingly competent, and I talked to more people who don't live on 4th East than I have in quite some time. (Which is not to say I don't love 4E -- I do -- sometimes a little too much, that's all.)

And then at the end we passed some Christmas display that prompted someone to comment that Santa's not paying the elves enough, and I thought about how Santa could get away with it 'cause he's got an effective monopsony on elf labor, and then I thought about all the studying I really should be doing. It's all okay though 'cause I have all the rest of tonight to study and I'm pretty sure that given the supply curve for elf labor with respect to wages and also the price of presents I could figure out how many elves Santa should hire anyways.
