And I managed to fit in attendance at an American Antiquarian Society webinar this afternoon. It felt good to be learning (about The New-England Primer in this case), and the part of the presentation in the conservation lab was especially nice (because it's something one doesn't usually get to see).
8/31: two things
I posted some overviews of recent class meetings in our course Team so that students who have missed for illness (yes, COVID on our campus, alas) can get a sense of what topics we covered. I'm glad that I got it done before going to bed this evening.
8/30: a student's connection
...between what we were translating in Greek class--the Infancy Gospel of Thomas--and the Twilight movies. It may seem a stretch, but the comparison she drew was very apt.
8/28: waking
...to an alarm, even though it was the weekend. This was the case all summer too, since we have to feed Tilde and give her her shot according to a regular schedule. Though part of me misses sleeping in and "natural rising," having a couple of extra hours in a weekend morning is nice. I used the extra time today to finish designing a pamphlet.
8/26: preparing Latin very early
...in the morning, while I was eating breakfast. And it's a good thing I did! When I left for school, I forgot my laptop, so I had to drive back home to retrieve it. But since my Latin was already prepped, it wasn't a problem that I lost a half-hour of office time.
8/25: working with
...the intermediate Greek students. I know them all from last year, and it is so nice to have a course in which they know one other as well as me and my ways. We collaborated our way through some of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas today, and it seemed like they felt good about our progress by the end of the class.
8/24: getting accustomed
...to giving Tilde the Cat her insulin shot. I was sheepish about it all summer, but I realized I needed to get comfortable with it now that school is back in session and Chris' teaching schedule means that he has to leave the house before it's time for her morning dose. Now that I've gotten used to it, I'm aware of how much I was being cowed by the idea of giving her a shot rather than the reality.
