First, this is my 39th anniversary with my husband. Makes me very old, but actually, we got married at ages 18 & 19. What did we know? Nothing!
Second, today begins Spring Break at my college. My hallway is already cleared of all activity, as classes are over for the day. Me? Have grading to do, midterm grades due Monday, just going to sit here & relax in the quiet. Outside, students are putting things in their cars & leaving. I am hungry & fasting so will just sit here & do some relaxed work.
One of my classes did really badly on their midterm. Always amazes me, as you think they are with you & then you find out, guess not. I think a lot of it has to do w/ reading word problems, putting things into context & being able to use the terms, rather than memorizing a definition. So when we return, we will do a lot of that in class. (Sucks for their midterm grades, tho’!)
Third, I’m thinking again of my book. Published but unaffordable. Just have to manage to do something about that. Noticed a few used copies are now available online for just over $90. NEW price being $108. for a 200p. double-sided paperback book. In any case, I still look at it, feel it, open it and read a few pages, & am glad it is done, published, and good quality. Just have to figure out a way to make the information publicly available. (Journal articles is one possibility.)
Four, for once we are not traveling to Indiana on my spring break. We are actually going to CHARLESTON, just the TWO of us, this Monday! That is a new experience! We always go visit family or travel w/ family. It will be fun.
