From a student!
11/4: making headway
...with designing (and writing descriptions of) some assignments for the upper-level Latin class.
11/3: ordering
...some photo prints to test holiday card possibilities. I had worked on some options in mid-October but then delayed getting prints made. I'm glad I took the time to submit an order today: the cards should reach me by mid-November, giving me just enough time to rush-order a bunch of whichever one I choose for holiday mailing.
11/2: morning, afternoon, evening
Morning: voting without a long line.
Afternoon: baking a chocolate gingerbread cake (recipe here).
Evening: doing 3 school tasks.
11/1: good afternoon meetings
...with students. It was a tough week in many ways, so I was especially grateful for thoughtful, unrushed conversations in my office this afternoon.
Oh! And a bonus good thing: a student gave me a little bag of Halloween goodies.
10/31: hearing people
...at my "Origami, Etymology, and Bats" workshop be excited about words and word histories.
10/30: getting some reassurance
...about my eye. I had a sudden PVD (posterior vitreous detachment) episode during my afternoon class yesterday, and I got an emergency appointment today to have it looked at. Right now it doesn't seem like it's connected to anything worse (like a tear), but I'll have a follow-up in a few weeks. In the meanwhile, it's quite an adjustment to get used to disrupted vision, as if I'm looking through a dirty window all the time. Still, I'm grateful that it's only that adjustment that I'm needing to deal with.
10/29: showing
...my pamphlets to the students in a letterpress class at work. They were so amazingly nice and thoughtful.
