A Good Wednesday
Categories: Personal
Exams have begun here at Winthrop. I know it's early, but we did begin a week before most other universities. I am glad the semester is at it's end. It's been a hard one for a variety of reasons -- most of them baby related. Eleanor's development, birth, and now infancy has certainly distracted me from focusing 100% on school. I am glad I have the summer to spend with her and Sarah, while adjusting to having her around in terms of focusing on and managing my workload.
My students don't have a traditional final. Instead, they present their group projects on the ideal school. I'm looking forward to hearing what they come up with. I'm also turning this assignment into a research project for myself. More on that later.
Sarah's parents left yesterday after being aroud for a week. They were a huge help -- doing laundry, making dinner, running errands. I want to thank them for all they did and was glad they were able to spend time with their new granddaughter.
Now, it's a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. Bright sun, warm air, and a nice breeze. My wife is at home with our new daughter, who is doing great. She's gaining weight, trying to figure out how to hold her head up, and sleeping a lot (except from 4 --7 AM, when she wants to be entertained). It's a good day.
(Oh, and I know the comments are screwed up. My brother is on it, but he just bought a house so I am cutting him some slack).
