It's been a while since I had the energy to update this thread. My routine is to come home, exhausted and hurting, throw myself on to the bed and sleep for two hours. Then I get up and work on schoolwork for the rest of the evening. Not exactly a dynamic lifestyle.

But there are some fun things happening. Most of it has to do with the kids. They say and do some of the damnedest things. For instance, I am setting them up with a major project that will be due at the end of the semester. Every class I explain they have to pick out a book to write up that no one else has. Each time I emphasize that they must give me the book title on a sheet of paper with their name as well as the date and time on it. The assignments will be on a first come, first served deal.

Sooo, yesterday when I handed a paper back to one of the students saying he needed to add the date and time at least three students were surprised by that announcement. And today I got a neatly printed list with no name on it!

But today is Friday! And it's payday! I just cashed my check and deposited all of it into my account. I like being rich... well, at least not too poor any more.
