3/8: no one rushing
...to finish the Myth test today. It was trying a new format for tests in this course, so I wasn't sure if it would be too long or too short. Maybe it was just right.
3/6: spotting
...a Lenten rose in the woods as I walked this afternoon. Then later, this evening, a friend posted photos she had taken of some Lenten roses during her walk today (in a totally different part of the US).
3/5: heading out
...for a morning walk at Cove Creek with Chris. There had been a controlled burn there recently, so there weren't the early spring flowers we had been hoping for, but Chris caught a little snake along the trail and we admired it for awhile, then later I spotted a little snake too. And some trees were just beginning to bud and flower.
3/4: clearing
...some "to do" items off my list before leaving work this afternoon. I am not ahead (at all), but I am not behind.
3/3: time with Homeric Greek
...this morning, as I prepared some passages to share with the Myth class so they could see how different translators tried to bring certain aspects of the ancient language into English. Penelope's wordplay in book 19! The use of the dual in book 23!
3/2: surprise visitors
...to my office hours this afternoon: a former student, his partner, and their puppy! I was in the middle of a session with a student, and they were just passing through town, so we couldn't really talk much, but we all cooed over the puppy and shared general good feelings.
3/1: coming back from campus
...and seeing pelicans on the lake (still!), then finding that Chris had heated up some cheese dip so we could have a few tortilla chips with dip while we were getting the rest of dinner ready.
