Today we took Buddy for his first Vet visit (with us anyway) and he handled it with flair. 
He actually was wagging his tail in the waiting room! The vet and tech both commented on how well behaved he was and how cute. He was declared to be a healthy young pup. We'll be going back for his last round of shots on the 20th. Right now, he's pretty sleepy from the shots. It's weird to see him so calm for so long. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
School Vent
Yesterday we had to turn in our preliminary Draft 2 of the big project for the summer class for peer review. We were told that it wasn't necessary to have it 100% finished, but that a substantial portion needed to be at least attempted. I completed everything, except for part of one section which I need to do a bit more reading on. Maybe half a paragraph's worth of material.
So, I finally got the draft of a peer which I was to review. Ugh! The person didn't include the draft 1 (which is basically the set up/introduction for the project) and then only completed one of three Appendices, and only two of the 6 narratives. I hated doing it, but I emailed the TA's and told them what I'd received (they don't look at the drafts, just randomly send them to different people after checking off that you sent one in). I seriously feel cheated. Not only do I not have a good paper to compare mine with (and thus see things I could do better), I also have a partner who hasn't done the work, so will not be able to make any substantive or helpful comments. (especially considering the quality of the little she did)
I'm still waiting to hear back. But I really hope that they'll either have one of them "peer" review my paper, or set me up with someone else.
Suduko!
I've seen people playing Suduko over the years, and have attempted to play it as well. Even with people trying to explain to me how it works, it never seemed to click. But I saw how much people loved it ...
Today I found a free app that says it will teach you Suduko. I figured why not, I won't lose any money.
And ... I finally got it!! I learned two tricks -- full house and naked something?? I played 5 puzzles in a row ... only reason I stopped was because it was time to go to the vet.
What great free entertainment!
Vet visit and School and Suduko!

You know you really have it bad when you do Killer Sudoku or KenKen, which is what the New York times calls theirs.
