Last day of class for the semester. Feels good.
When I get home I'm having a glass of whiskey.

Cheap as fuck Koss Portapro headphones actually sound amazing for the money. Way batter than any competitor at less than twice the price. Then maybe look at Sennheiser.

I've been applying for other jobs even though I currently have one. I got rejected from a company that I'm actually doing a lot of work for through my current company. How ironic.

Cheers! My last Greek class is tomorrow and I hand out the final exam on Monday. After that I've got a nice month-and-a-half vacation before I teach scientific writing/Latin-Greek terminology for my summer job. Iowa in August!

Ah, nice. I only get a week break before my summer classes start. Fortunately, I only have to go into campus two days a week.

A math, english, and (american) history. Bleh. Anything remotely interesting was already filled up by [current] students and these are required courses anyway.

Yeah, the summer semester is already somewhat condensed, and then I signed up for more accelerated classes than the standard ones. Hopefully it doesn't backfire lol, but I've already taken these before (a long time ago), so it shouldn't be too hard to refresh.
Basically I'm in school for only 2 months out of the summer, I'm starting in the end of May and I'll be done before August.

Well, I'm having surgery tonight. I have a circulatory problem in my leg where apparently the blood doesn't flow like it should; it's obstructed by a faulty valve. So they're going in and removing the valve.
I called this morning and asked if there's anything I need to do beforehand or any details I need to know. The receptionist said: "Nope. You can drive yourself to and from. Just make sure you don't come on an empty stomach."
This is already unlike any surgery I've ever had before.

Thanks man. I believe it's because I'm not being put under for the surgery, but instead only using local anaesthesia. I'm not really sure though, so it's still strange to me.

Cardiovascular surgery has really advanced, especially in that they can do non/minimally-invasive procedures that not too long ago used to involve major cut-you-open methods. My father went into Mass General in Boston a couple years ago for surgery on his heart. But rather than cutting him open they inserted a fibre-optic cable into an artery IN HIS LEG which worked its way up to the heart and attended to the issue successfully.
Their apparently insouciant attitude should be reassuring in this light. Nevertheless, my best wishes to you, Pat.

Well, it's protocol to avoid eating or drinking twelve hours or so before a surgery in which they put you under. Since your normal bodily functions are being debilitated, you run the risk of regurgitating anything in your stomach and choking on it.
So my logic dictates that I'm not being put under, but only having my leg numbed.
EDIT: also, thanks for all your wishes guys, I appreciate it.

Haha, indeed.
Well, it's done. It was far less invasive and time-consuming than I'd anticipated. I was in the room for ten minutes. They numbed my leg, then went in with a laser and performed the operation.
The problem I've been having is that my leg muscles were seizing up. Apparently, this was being caused by a faulty valve that was obstructing blood flow. Regardless of whether this valve was the cause, it's something I needed to fix because it could lead to varicose veins in the future. Hopefully it solves the other issue too.
