Adventures of the Academic Aid

Today's dynamic episode starts out with a groggy little Lindsay K. found burrowed in blankets and cuddled passionatly with crocheted blankets as the morning sun rises. (As in morning, I mean 10:00.) Soon she powers up and prepares for a day of actions and adventure by fueling up with a 6 inch turkey sub on wheat with provalone cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and a touch of mayo. Now with that enegery running through her veins, she super-powers her teeth squeaky clean and heads off to the OSD office to become Academic Aid Girl.

But today's episode is the first in it's series, a short-lived series that only lasts 3 days because she was called on by headquarters to help in the effort of reading tests, delivering test, and being a maidservant for finals week- the busyest week at the headquarters. When our hero, Lindsay K., enters the building and heads towards the office, it appears that we might be waiting a while before we see any dynamic action because other super heros are waiting their turn to become productive.

But not for Lindsay K.! Almost immediatly she is ordered off to deliever tests to several buildings on campus to different academic departments. As she visited each department office, she noticed that each one welcomed with her with some type of reserve because they knew that her presence brought a heavier work load, but all in a days work!

Soon after that Lindsay K. was quickly assigned to be a scribe for a student. Oh course, Lindsay K. decided to accept the offer and take on the challenge! Little did she know that the final of the student she was scribing for required four different essays. Lindsay K.'s super power hand was ready to fall off after two straight hours of essay, but eventually the last pargraph was finished and it was time to recharge her battery. With the help of a few wheat crackers on a plate and water, she was ready to go at it again in no time.

But to Lindsay K's surprise, no more work was to be done! The day was ending early, but not early enough for her to head out to her super-charged kickboxing class that starts at 3:30. Sure, sadness filled the little hero's heart but maybe tomorrow our hero might request to leave a little bit earlier in order to get her powers invigorated and ready to fight the world!

But till then, our hero will be found fitting in some Pilates before the winter break, preparing for a presentation Friday and Monday for back home, studying for the two finals coming up, and packing for the fantastic winter break filled with wonderful Christmas tunes and treats.

Tune in next time to see where she will go next! Until then, keep your stick on the ice!

Every time I see the word "pilates" it makes me think of pirates. And makes me giggle. But that's my $1.98.
