Last Saturday I boarded a plane. This Saturday at 6:30 AM I took a long walk off campus with 2 other ladies. WOW! Hopefully I'll be able to POST pictures. I might have to get help. The last time I tried to post pictures the newest additions I'd downloaded didn't show up in the choices. Thankfully, there are "techy" people here. Yesterday Ray from Nova Scotia got me a printer that will work with my personal computer. What a help that was.
Saturdays here are just like any other day to everyone EXCEPT ME. I am SO THANKFUL that I didn't have to teach today. Even extroverts like me need DOWN TIME! I will study and prepare today, but I'll go at a slower pace. I don't think I can last if the stimulation of the past week keeps up. Going to bed with beautiful music has helped me the past 2 nights.
Today I had banana bread for breakfast; yes, comfort food for this over stimulated soul. We've been invited for supper at another faculty house tonight, and I heard we're having pizza. (smile)
So, let me get back to work. Maybe if I get the courses planned well, I can then spend what time I have out of class grading papers, or even visiting with students. Yesterday Peter G (not one of my students) stopped by my office to visit. What fun that was. I got to hear about his 14 years in Ivory Coast during the war and how he and his family survived. What a smile he carries; lovely man; I'm delighted to get to know these people.
