5/8: deciding on

...a topic for an essay to write this summer, and being excited about it.

5/7: working from home

...today.  I was glad I was able to, since I needed some uninterrupted grading time.

5/6: reflecting

...a little on the school year.  I did some quiet writing while a student was taking a make-up exam.

5/5: writing a business letter

...this afternoon.  I knew it would be something that I'd have to be deliberate about, so I had set aside the afternoon and evening for it, but I managed to finish it before dinner.  That meant I could do some sweeping this evening.

5/4: remembering

...that the mulberry tree on campus had some ripe berries and that I meant to use that as a good thing earlier this week (but forgot).  After dinner I had to get something at my school office, and I walked over to the mulberry tree to pick a berry so it could be a good thing for today instead.

5/3: reading

...the Myth students' lists of 3 things they especially enjoyed about the course.  It was heartening, and some of the comments were especially wonderful.

5/2: quietly printing

...my Myth students' final assignments so I don't have to read them on the screen.  They amount to quite a stack!

5/1: getting

...24 small bags of chips plus a pallet of 24 individually wrapped blueberry muffins with this semester's "free" dining dollars.  It doesn't use up my allowance, but at least I didn't let go as much to waste as last semester.
