The other day Wakana harvested the first of our bananas. The outdoor table is now covered with green bananas, short and fat and quickly turning yellow in the warm weather. These are the Philippine bananas. The other plants are Chiquita bananas, like you get in the stores. They will need another month or so.

These classes are kicking my butt. As I tell people, I spend 10 1/2 hours a week in class and the rest of the week isn't enough to do all the homework. For this Saturday I have to prepare two power point presentations, plus read three chapters for one class and two for another. For Monday I have to have my rough draft for my paper on Potiki ready to turn in to be workshopped. Plus I am behind in writing up my school observations and I need to get my portfolio started for my classroom management class.

The problem is that I feel like I've worked all day long and have made no real headway. I'm tired.

Enough whining. I'm going to take the dog out so she can pee and then I'm going to bed.

Goodnight!
