There is no alert level three

allekhaThe Carmen analysis is done, it and the vid have been posted, and I am ready to never watch a Carmen program again (or at least not for a few seasons). Thinking of eventually doing the same with Swan Lake, though.
Also skating-related: I am so excited for Zhenya's Masquerade SP! Can't wait to see it. That music suits her perfectly. I am still a little upset about her Edeas, but at least the summer and next season are sounding good.
Had a skating lesson myself this morning and spent a very exciting hour practicing:
-basic stroking
-edges along the line
-T stops
-changes of edge
And we ran through the Canasta Tango a few times.
Afterward, I went to pick up a few things from the pharmacy. Naturally, antiseptic anything is completely sold out, but there was still a little isopropyl alcohol left. I'm trying not to get too paranoid, but I have been washing my hands a lot and I did swab down my phone and bus pass and stuff with alcohol when I got home. My university has already moved to Pandemic Alert Level One and someone died of flu in student housing, so I really don't want to get sick.
Alert Level One is 'cancel large events, beg students not to go to large events, and clearance is required for outside seminar speakers'. Alert Level Two is shutting down campus for a month. I at least wouldn't be horribly affected, but the plan if campus is shut down is to teach through online courses, and from what I've heard + my time TAing, our university is not really prepared to do that effectively. So, uh, good luck to all the teachers and students.
The only way a campus shutdown may affect me is if a) the computer I use on campus has its power shut off (but I can still run code on my own machine) b) I finally have a date for my proposal and I would prefer it to happen. Maybe if necessary, we can all do it over video? Will cross that bridge if it comes to it.
Anyway, there is still work to do while waiting for the proposal and writing to get done, and I also need to get back to my FTH recip and the creator who has emailed me so far. Might squeeze in some video games if I have time - I recently raised myself a ruling queen who married her prince charming in Princess Maker 2 :) The new translation sucks, so if I play it again, I'll do it in Japanese.
