Good final Myth classes, with a format for students' responses to one another's altered pages that worked well.
A reading and discussion of The Skull by Jon Klassen with some students. I think they all enjoyed it, and some of them very much so.
4/24: noticing
...last night that the ants are back in our walls--not a good thing. But the Terminix people were already scheduled to come this morning for a quarterly visit, so that was perfect timing, and they were really nice as I explained to them that we wanted to take care of the ants but limit the chemicals elsewhere.
4/21: preparing
...for the last week of classes: partly by reading for pleasure (to give myself some escapist relief), partly by doing another round of grading (to be as caught up as possible), and partly by making a batch of flaxseed breakfast muffins (to help me start the coming week's mornings well).
4/20: finishing
...a round of grading. I try not to do schoolwork on Saturdays, but it was a must today. The upside is that after tomorrow evening's grading I will be completely caught up as we head into the last week of classes.
4/19: hearing
...a colleague whose office is next to mine laugh as she spoke to a student we have in common. She doesn't laugh much, so it really caught my ear, and it made me smile to think that her conversation with such a nice student was delighting her on a Friday afternoon near the end of a tiring semester.
4/18: hearing
...the last of the senior presentations today. It's been nice this week to see each of them do their own thing.
