Making a list of where the top ten films of each year were mixed and I am cross referencing this with the academy award nominations. I know this is well known, but it always amazes me what films don't get nominated and what films were not popular when released.

Just got to school and it has started snowing. It looks so pretty and I love snow. I just wish that I had remembered to put the snow brush in the car. It might be interesting getting ready to leave later today....

Yesterday was my first day back. Classes went great! But the hallway to my office is now full of forgotten furniture, making an already narrow hallway, super tight. Then I spilled my water bottle onto my laptop. π€¦ββοΈ Forced a break, but everything seems to be working well. Fingers crossed.

I did a caffeine cleanse this summer to cut back on my dependency. Most of the summer I have only been drinking decaf. Today I had my first cup of low caffeine coffee. And wow -- caffeine is wonderful!
