Final exams are over. Life is... Wait, what's this? My income tax final has just become a take home? I have until Saturday to get it done? Uggh. I was looking to put this class behind me, for good or ill. Now I have to spend the closest thing I have to a day to myself working on tax questions. Damn, damn, damn.

The next house on my tour of the Ninth Street Park is the Wheeler-Griebling House, built in 1880. This is probably my favorite house on the park, I love the openness of the design, all the south facing windows that really brighten it up. I'm sure the family that was removed from here loved it as well.

Tip of the day: Don't give your presentation in a dark room while standing in front of the only window in the place. It makes it difficult for people to see you and your slide show. Then again since she couldn't get the slide show to work, maybe it doesn't really matter. Thank you to the Scholarship Center and the Women's Studies Center for presenting the scholarship workshop though.

1045 Ninth Street Park, Denver, Colorado. One a home to Hispanic residents, now the home of the Cooperative Education Center/Internship Center. Another victim of urban renewal. One the upside, if you can prove you're a descendant of the residents that were relocated, you can get a free education. I hear the evidence and paperwork required are extensive.
