So I did a presentation on the propspect of using vermicomposting both as a sustainable waste management tool and an educational one in a local elementary school. Sadly, my research results suggest that this is not likely unless the school redoes its schedule and hires more custodians. If anyone wants my powerpoint or paper, comment.

I also took my Earth System Science final, and it is such a relief to be out of that class. It is a fascinating subject, but now that Dr. Hoffmann is gone it was being taught by a very nice woman who does not know when the Little Ice Age was and says that pH is the concentration of hydrogen in solution. (I'm not even sure she meant protons.) Having accidentally gotten a teacher fired in middle school, I cringe every time my classmates go on about how evil she is, since she's not, she's just bad. But. It still sucked, because every time we sat in lab and she told us to put down an answer that was demonstrably scientifically wrong, Meaghan and I were all "SCIENCE WILL SAVE US!" and ignored what she told us to write.

(I realize in some cases "well, she's a professor, she obviously knows more than you" is a valid objection. I'm pretty sure, though, that she did know these things and was just trying to make it easier for the rest of the class to follow by not including her ironically non-Earth logic.)

...also, speaking of actual evil professors, Dr. Mohan held the door for me today. But to object would be like one of those weird guys who refuses to go through when I hold the door, so hell, I dunno, I thought, and I thanked him and went through. Happily, the door led to CNS, as I was hoping, and not to some terrible hell-dimension. Perhaps he is losing his chemistry vampire powers.

Anyway, best inadvertently-funny line read while procrastinating today:
"You can trust Albus to be discrete, Harry."

It is a little-known fact that Albus Dumbledore is non-continuous and can be counted. How this makes him more trustworthy, I'm not sure, since the entire point of the last book was that Voldemort is also non-continuous and can be counted. Although to be fair, it takes a lot longer to count Voldemort.
