Snowy Days and Long Weekends

Hope you all enjoyed the snow day as much as I did. I used it for grading essays, as usual. Don't really remember the last time I was able to just relax, put up my feet, and watch a movie or sleep or go outside and build snow fort or something on a snow day. There always seems to be a pile of essays sitting on my desk, waiting to be pored over.

The snow day on Friday past meant I was able to get in an extra couple of hours--not much, really, so while it puts me a little bit ahead of schedule, it's not nearly enough.

I just wanted to remind you that if you were supposed to do the AF-10 (Analysis-Free 10 minutes) reading this past Friday, you'll be expected to do it on Monday, along with those people who were already scheduled for Monday.

Other than that, the snow day doesn't really put us off schedule or anything. It just means hopefully we'll all be better rested and ready to discuss everything and anything related to Frankenstein tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I'll enjoy the snow-covered view of those pine-clad hills while I finish the rest of those essays.
