Oh so tired... always so tired.

I was so tired last night that I went to sleep quite early. I slept in this morning and I'm STILL tired! If this doesn't get better by next week I'm going to get rid of my Tuesday morning hours. It'd lower me to 12 hours a week, but I think I could manage. I guess part of the problem is that on Mondays I spend 9 hours in class or work. I got home at 8pm last night and was basically too tired to do anything. I took a shower and fell into bed. I studied a bit then slept. I was going to eat dinner, but I wasn't even hungry.

In other news I've decided that I'm either a bad teacher or my intern is a slow learner. I mean... how many times do I need to explain excel? I'm trying to get him used to checking his work. Ok... does it make sense that you have half of the population in this town in 2000 as you did in 1990? He starts to say yes and I'm thinking no. I made him add up the total populations we started with and then we found the mistake. He forgot to add the female population in. He keeps asking me how to problem solve. It's like argh! You just look to see if it looks right, then you go figure out what you might have done wrong. And when you get frustrated and give up, you get someone else to check what you might have done wrong. Not that hard.

Besides work I've been doing a lot of school work. I wrote down a bunch of annoying quotes from class last night, but I don't have much time this morning to post them. I'll try to find time this afternoon. If the weather is as bad as it is right now I won't be running, so I should have some free time.

Off to go eat my dinnerbox from last night as breakfast!

Poor you :-(
I think that going down to 12 hours is a good thing. And I think that you have a specially stupid intern :-) And he is not a Feminist!

Probably not. Although he's amazingly good for a guy in accepting that I know more than him about a few things. :P
