Lie ins! First one for a week.
Also, finding out that the rest of your hall is as nerdy as you are, and spending the evening watching First Contact, discussing RPGs and arguing over whether the Enterprise would beat a star destroyer in a fight.

Erm... Anyways... The REAL reason I'm visiting this thread is to assign today's peanut-butter cookies to the Shire. I can't recall the last time I had a cookie half so good. Moist, crumbly, and FULL of peanut-buttery taste... simply divine! I already had four... and I still want more.

I assign the feeling of being warm and dry after getting so soaked I swear I was 2 stone heavier when I returned than when I left.

My parents found our new rental house today. It's huge and beautiful, though I haven't seen it yet. It's got a tennis court. With trees in it! Too bad we're completely inept at tennis.
I get my own room! Yayyyyy!! And probably another whole room for my drums! :disco: Well, a whole music room anyway with space for them. I might as well assign the whole process that has resulted in my Dad's getting this new job. It's been pretty great (not packing so much, though) so far, and we are all excited for what is to come.  I also assign going out to eat with a bunch of people you haven't seen in a while, even though you might not see them ever again.  Also, one of said friend's two-month-old baby. He's such a sweetie. Another wonderful thing is all-you-can-eat bacon, waffles & fruit, but especially the bacon. I also assign the wonderful LOUD stereo in my car. Driving wouldn't be half as fun without it.

ehm I kind of assign this afternoon, it was great.
First of all the weather was lovely. The sun was shining, not a cloud on the sky and a lovely cool wind. It was to cool to go around in T-shirt (exept if you are english) and to warm to wear a jacket, just as I like it. Further more I was at one of the most amazing sites in the world. Kronborg, a fabulous renaissance castle, renown for being the setting of Shakespears Hamlet. The only down side to this afternoon is that all of the great national treasures that is there are not danish anymore, they where all taken by the swedish as spoils of war and are only borrowed! (If we can return Islandic and Russian treasures, why can't the swedes ?)

Remember about that English "sheen of green"? For well on two weeks now we in the Great Lakes have had English temperatures and an English amount of rain, and the grass! The grass! The lawns! The only things missing are sheep to graze, and the correct angle of the sun, though perhaps this is equivalent to London in July (just a guess). Gloaming at high noon! But it's Autumn, the perfect season for it, and it especially brings back memories of a wonderful trip a year ago to the blessed isle. Such green and such memories do indeed belong in the Shire.

So that's where all our rain has gone. Bring it back, thief!
I assign going to your first real lecture and discovering that it wasn't half as bad as you thought it was going to be considering it was statistics, because the textbook for the course is specifically named: Statistics without maths.

Spray-on starch. Partly because it makes the ironing easier but also because really crisp italian cotton is so nice to wear. I am lazy so I usually wear cotton jersey tops but I had an interview today hence the formal shirt...

Exam week. I don't have to wake up as early as I normally do. (It begins tomorrow. You might ask me again about this in a few days and I won't promise that it will still be assigned to Shire rather than Mordor...
 )

Omigosh, sushi. Yum. I've been missing out.
More specifically, having class at a sushi bar. Discussing Marx and Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky over vegetarian sushi... mmm.

I swear, it's cool enough to double post.
Understanding, after almost three weeks of mental grappling, everything Immanuel Kant was talking about! Moral Calculus. Amazing.

I doubt any one understands Kant. . . .I think someone once said something like this "All philosophers before Kant should count them self lucky, as they did not have to study Kant" It wording was probably much better, but you get the picture.
If you Fea, truly understand Kant, I can only say that you amaze me even more than you did before and I shall recognise you as my superior.

The sort of professor that lets you sit brooding in his office for a few hours, moping and feeling utterly sorry for yourself, being both hypochondriac extraordinaire and moody English Major, and then laughs at you.

Duct-tape can fix anything ! (we call it Gaffa-tape)
They use it for last minute repairs at areoplains. . . .

Actually, it's a slightly different product that is used on aeroplanes. My husband is an aircraft mechanic and firmly corrected me last time I made that claim.
My dad and I used duct-tape to repair a fence once. It was supposed to be there to keep the dogs in the yard just long enough for us to go purchase a new board, and ended up lasting for two years, before the board was replaced in order to sell that house.

I was joking. . .
I too have a family member that is an air craft mechanic, he did tell me that they did not use ducked-tape, but he did not say that they used some other tape.

It's called, creatively, aircraft tape.
I assign the mathoms my husband brings home from work. Odd tools and switches and parts, the purpose of which is a mystery to me, and the guessing games he plays with me. The other day he got me good with this metal cylnder the size of a battery that clacked inside when you shook it. Turns out it's called a "G-switch".

I assign finding out that your lecture tomorrow is cancelled, meaning that you can go home nearly two hours earlier than expected!
Also the relief that comes when you discover that today is not the deadline for a piece of work you haven't even started yet.
