A Room Full of Students - More Hands - Make the Work Week Easier. Shouting Out to the Team of Extending Literacy Learners for Their Help This Evening.

I needed to have 150 writers' notebooks assembled - six boxes of composition books with grant-focused stickers, and the students came to the rescue. What would have taken a day to do, they accomplished in 15 minutes and, yes, there is something therapeutic about peeling stickers and putting them on a book.

Done. 

Most of yesterday was spent catching up on grading and readying for the evening work and although it was a bit frantic in my not-screwed-on correctly brain, we accomplished the evening goals and were able to move the course along. 

I'm also thankful for Dr. Rona Preli who forwarded a salad my ways because it had garlic in it and she can't eat garlic. I took that bad boy home and ate it for a late meal. It was spicy, but oh-so-good. If it wasn't for that salad I probably would have had a handful of peanuts.

Karal, too, adjusted to alone time on Mt. Pleasant, which she hates, but we did get a little hike in, too...midday to clear my brain. 

Today is another day...another round of figuring things out and trying to stay afloat. I see you, Tuesday. We got you, too.

Ate Varsity Pizza again after a long, long while. I'm happy to see it is still open on the hill, and it was nice to meet Melissa and her...
