luzula: a Luzula pilosa, or hairy wood-rush (Default)
[personal profile] luzula
1) We have ended K's roommate contract with a minimal amount of drama, and he is moving on on the last of January. Things are slightly awkward now, but not as much as I feared. Whew.

2) I got bad evaluations on a course, which I am not used to. Students usually like me! But these ones didn't. It makes me wonder what these evaluations actually say, since the course was basically the same as last year, and it got good evaluations then. I'd only changed one thing about it, and nobody complained about that thing. Oh well. : ( Different group dynamics?

3) I have got slightly obsessed with making a reference collection of wood-living fungi. The weather has been mild, so it's really the perfect time of year to collect them. And I just find the process of gathering, determining the species (if I can), registering them in the online species observation databank, and writing herbarium envelopes for them very engaging and restful. Collection is now at 32 species and rising. And my moss herbarium is at 225 species.

4) I am stalled on Yuletide. : ( I do have an idea, and I've done some research on it, but it's rather ambitious and I am avoiding working on it. If you have motivational tricks to share, please do. How is your Yuletide assignment going?
