End-of-the-week blur

Wow, has it really been Wednesday since I've posted? Guess the end of the week was pretty crazy, mostly because of out-of-work things that sprung up. Surprise visit from my family, grandma's birthday, no internet access. That pretty much sums it up. I think that's a worthwhile reason for not posting, don't you? :) I miss my family.

Well, like I said in previous posts, I can barely remember what happens at the end of a day, not to mention remembering things that happened in previous days, so all I can say is, at least there were no fires to put out. Lots more meetings with seniors (college) and freshmen (how's the transition). Got asked to be an advisor for several groups. Found out from one senior that he wanted to start a group because it would look good on his resume. Dug further and found that he didn't think he had anything "unique" and therefore wanted to start a group. Had a long conversation with him about delving into what he finds interesting because that makes him "unique" without him having to try to make a concerted effort. I hate what the college process can do to kids.

Another interesting case is researching UK schools for another one of my students who will be moving back at the end of this year.

Working on recommendation letters. Boy I wish I could find a way to be able to do them at school - there's too many interruptions for me to keep my train of thought on one, so they are all being done at home right now.
