What a Difference a Week Can Make

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.
