5/2: doing
...some necessary end-of-semester work, and feeling like I've made some progress with it.
4/30: a good conversation
...in the final Myth class of the semester about what Ovid's Metamorphoses emphasizes about the world, humans, human life, and its challenges.
4/29: the last regularly scheduled office hour
...of the academic year was this afternoon, and it was a good one. A student reflected very thoughtfully on a project they had recently finished.
4/28: receiving official word
...about the decision of a student conduct case that's taken up a lot of mental and emotional space.
4/27: Charlotte's words
Every week since the end of October I've been posting a new positive/encouraging adjective derived from Latin or Greek elements on the bulletin board at school. It reminds me of how Charlotte in Charlotte's Web wove words. She did it to attract attention to Wilbur; I'm just trying to have some goodness available for people's eyes (and minds) as they walk by the board. A colleague today mentioned how much she likes seeing them.
4/26: 4 Bs
...on my morning walk: bees, butterflies, a bunny, and berries (as yet unripe, but something to look forward to).
4/25: the luxury
...of having two rice makers. While one is cooking jasmine brown rice, the other is working on Jasberry rice. (I like to mix the two when making fried rice.)
