Monkeys 'n' typewriters

Looks like I'm getting back into the groove of posting every day. :) Today was mainly a get-homework-done day. Tomorrow I'm giving a presentation in my English usage class on "a whole nother thing" (linguistically), so I spent the bulk of my homework time today putting together a handout and crafting a Powerpoint presentation. (Let me just say that while Powerpoint's okay, someday I'm going to shell out the money for Keynote because it's a better program, and it's not Microsoft. :)) There's a cool program called OmniOutliner that comes with Mac OS X -- it basically helps you outline your ideas. Simple but effective. I found it quite useful as I drafted my presentation (which will evolve into a paper by the end of the semester). You know, making presentations and writing papers and all of this can actually be quite fun... (But now that I've said that, just watch: next semester I'll have to give ten billion presentations and write twenty gazillion papers. ~sigh~ Have I mentioned how much I don't like giving presentations and writing papers? ;))
