Still alive! Stealing a brief bit of internetens.

I had to reschedule some of my classes today for a bunch of reasons, and the worst part of this is that it meant that there was that dreaded thing: a CONFLICT. Specifically, a class I actually do have to take overlaps with a class I don't but desperately want to. If it ever comes up: the single greatest history professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and possibly OF ALL TIME, is a fellow named David McDonald. He looks vaguely like Harrison Ford (no, seriously - imagine Harrison Ford with a little more Irish to the face and that's basically Professor McDonald) and can make early Russian history hilariously interesting, and he is basically my favorite professor I have ever had.

Obviously I had to drop the history course (damnit). While I did so, I found myself muttering "I'LL GET YOU YET, MCDONALD. NEXT YEAR. NEXT YEAR."
