Not so smarty pants

10.14.2004

Spent about three hours taking an IQ test this afternoon. Did really well on the spacial portion (I think), not so well on the math portion (I know). Now I'm pretty drained.

But there's a public lecture in an hour by the Qatari ambassador to the US on campus (it's advertised on the WMU News site, so I think it's OK to post here). I plan to attending. Perhaps some of my students will attend? The ambassador, btw, is a Western alumnus.

Also, I sort of screwed up my class today. Since the students were starting to fall asleep, uninterested in the intricate, delicate, nuanced differences in types of power & methods of diplomacy, I thought I'd introduce the issue of North Korea, which we'd eventually debate in class later. Oops. We're debating that issue on Tuesday (not Thursday). So now I have to quickly figure out how to keep Tuesday's class dynamic & interesting after we've already discussed North Korea for a full hour. Grrr.
