2/26: end-of-the-day

...conversations with colleagues.  They weren't long, but they were genuine.  One colleague mentioned that she had heard about my pamphlets being exhibited and offered congratulations; the other shared impressions of the semester so far and the challenges it's presented.

2/25: simultaneously

...reading Hawthorne's Wonder Book and Walpole's Castle of Otranto and noticing some similarities.

2/24: looking at similes

...in the Odyssey with students.  They noticed and thought of many good things.

2/23: practicing pronunciation

 ...with one of the Latin students during office hours.

2/22: scribbling

...a scribble book and remembering how fun they were to make last year.

2/21: seeing

...a dandelion during my morning walk and the beginnings of blooms on the Japanese quince on our deck.  It made me remember that I also saw dandelions and Japanese quince blossoms at school this week.

2/20: having an hour

...at school to get some grading down before heading home.

2/19: the beginnings

...of tree blooms.  The magnolias on campus are opening up, and I saw some blossoms on other trees as I drove to school this morning.
