coffeesnob318Emerging from a sea of papers for a quick drive-by to say, "Hi!" and give a little update.
The end of the semester is near. The end of the semester is near. The end of the semester is near. It sounds lovelier every time I say it.
I had a student take a final yesterday who hasn't completed half his work for the semester. I wonder how he's planning on passing? I discreetly pulled him aside and asked as much, but he seemed adamant about taking the final. OK by me, if you don't mind wasting your time, I guess.
Down side - My back is one big knot.
Up side - Free 15-minute massages in the Union all week.
My keeping up with lj is going to be sporadic at best this week, in case you haven't noticed. I hope I don't miss anything important (like someone's birthday coming up on Thursday...). If I do, I claim finals/closedown week as my defense.
So. Tired. But not as tired as I thought I'd be. I've actually been getting pretty decent sleep.
Have a good day. And if this day should turn into days, have good days. And if those days should turn into the rest of the week...well, you get the idea.

:-) No worries, really...I'll be here, you'll be there...I feel this time apart will do us good, Suzanne. It's for the best. *sniffles, wipes tear away* It'll only be for a short while...*sniffles, wipes yet another tear* So, I bid an adieu to you.
*sniffles, tear*

When Mel and I were in life group together, any time someone would cry and it was one of those cries that couldn't be helped but by laughter, she would lean over to them and pat them and say in a mock soothing tone, "There, there, shut up." Then they would laugh and feel better.
Ok, it's not as mean as it looks in writing. We were a special little group. Ah, memories.
