4/30: having a day
...to deal with a few loose ends work-wise and home-wise before the next round of assignments comes in.
4/29: having a meeting
...that I was nervous about. I think I spoke well and smartly, though I was also my usual awkward self. And now it's over.
4/28: spending most of the day's energy
...on the Myth students' final altered page assignments. It's been interesting to see how this project has worked this semester.
4/27: trying smoked paprika
...in peanut butter cookies. I hadn't baked cookies since December, so it was fun to make a quick batch and test the paprika addition (which I had read about online). I also added cinnamon, so the taste is overall more complicated. Too complicated? We'll see. I'm going to make a "straight" batch tomorrow to compare.
4/26: finishing my day's grading
...at school, so I didn't have to work in the evening. Instead, Chris popped some popcorn, and we watched a movie that we knew was unlikely to be good but hoped would un-good in a fun way.
4/25: 3 good things
A smooth appointment at the dentist's office.
Good final Myth classes, with a format for students' responses to one another's altered pages that worked well.
A reading and discussion of The Skull by Jon Klassen with some students. I think they all enjoyed it, and some of them very much so.
4/24: noticing
...last night that the ants are back in our walls--not a good thing. But the Terminix people were already scheduled to come this morning for a quarterly visit, so that was perfect timing, and they were really nice as I explained to them that we wanted to take care of the ants but limit the chemicals elsewhere.
