Even Dottier

So I screwed up my syllabus and accidentally gave my classes the day off.  We started a week earlier than we did last year and so the "No Class" on my syllabus corresponds to last year's Labor Day.  Whoops!  I figured I'd walk over to the classroom and see how many of them had actually read the syllabus, and not a single soul was there.  I guess that means they can't claim they didn't read the syllabus later in the semester when they're bitching about the group assignment.  

It's a shame to waste this outfit, but I've locked myself in my office in the hopes that no one in my department notices how ditzy I am.

The lighting in these photos is terrible...this is because I've been using my iPhone to take pictures because I'm too lazy to dig out our real camera and all the cords and craziness that go along with it.  Fortunately, we're getting new phones (the Casio G'Zone Commando, perfect for my hardcore lifestyle of surviving earthquakes and hurricanes!), and our new phones have a 5.1 megapixel camera WITH FLASH.  So fairly soon you will actually be able to see the stuff I'm posting as opposed to a dark and blurry blob.  Hooray!

Nanette Lepore Dress (you can't tell but it has small beige polka dots all over it)
Aerosoles shoes
Vintage cherry pin

Candyland

Ann Taylor Short Sleeved Corsage Cardigan
J Crew Perfect Tee
Anthropologie Licorice Lanes Skirt
Life Strides Shoes (I had a lot of walking to do yesterday and was also still a little nervous because of all the giant cracks in our building.  If you're going to need to sprint away from a collapsing building, best to do it in grandma shoes.)

First day of class

Posting this in between sections.  For whatever reason I was super-nervous teaching this morning.  Hopefully section 2 will be better...

Halogen Dress (from Nordstrom)
J Crew Jackie Cardigan
Anne Klein Shoes

Edit: So maybe I was nervous because of the EARTHQUAKE that almost knocked my building into the Severn River.

Even More Vacay!

Please excuse my complete lack of makeup and hairstyling.

Vacay!

Posts from me this week will likely be few and far between (if at all) because CJ and I are vacationing with my parents in Hilton Head, where we are obviously getting tons of debate work done.  I mean, duh.

Comfy for the 9 hour car ride.

Goggles at the ready.
