Wins for everyone!

The past few days have been a blur!

Last night we went to a show and sae a couple of great female performers! Valerie June was the main draw for me, and the headliner, Sharon Jones, was quite excellent!

Before that Greg and I were able to get about 2 hours of work done over dinner at Republic, so it felt good to be productive.

Before that we got to watch the Memphis Tigers beat the Louisville Cardinals for the second time this season!

And that was just yesterday!

Now I am looking into next week. This is the week before Spring Break. Three of my classes are getting ready for mid term exams and papers, so I am dealing with a lot of student email over that. My other class just handed in a paper, so I am hoping to get that back to them before the break starts. Actually I may hold onto it even if I do get it graded. I will have to think about that.

I tried to go to the grocery store this morning and it was a zoo! There are severe winter weather warnings issued today and tomorrow, so all of Memphis was at my local grocery store. Deciding I could get what I needed at Walgreen's, I took my time and bought over-priced milk and eggs. I also got some pens, filled my birth control, and got some doggie bags for the dog and the cat. I think that is a pretty good compromise.

I just need to keep a lid on my temper this week. I have gotten so many emails from students who have asked such ridiculous questions. They seem to have had the critical thinking zapped out of them at some point, and now it is becoming very obvious which of them can hack it and which of them are going to have a hard lesson to learn.

This week I need to work on being patient and understanding. They are fragile in an area where I am string, and I need to keep that in the very front of my mind.
