Back to School for GrownUps

Well finally!

Ross + I are on the way home from Peterborough and I have been wanting to write my blog but couldn’t find a way in to do that. The dropdown box that allows us to change from our main blog to the second doesn’t show up in the Blackberry browser any more. I knew I’d managed to get here before but it took me a while to think of how. Spam, that’s how. Had just finished telling Stephanie that and an email notification of a new comment showed up. First time I have been glad to see spam in my inbox

It has been a busy day. Had class early for canLit today to allow time for our field trip to see sights in the area that are relevant to what we have been talking about this semester. Went to a small church that Catharine Parr Traill’s daughter was married at. Thomas Traill and several of the Stricklands are buried in its small cemetary. We also visited the cemetary where CPT is buried, and saw her house and also Margaret Laurence’s house. Oh and the Moodie homestead as well. I took a few pictures. Most didn’t turn out so well but will try to upload 1 anyway.

After the field trip, Ross and I still had hours to kill. Usually on Wednesdays we go back to the motel and he reads/naps while I futz around on the computer. But since we were coming home after class tonight that wasn’t an option so we went and had a leisurely lunch at the Panda Chinese buffet near the school. Then we went back to the campus and hung around there until it was time for class.

Today was the last time I saw my seminar students as a class and I wanted a good turnout for the evaluation forms and for exam review so I bribed them with pizza. No surprise there - it worked quite well

Now we are on our way home - still about an hour to go. Tomorrow Ross writes his exams and after that it will be time for me to knuckle down and knock off some essays

I’m looking forward to getting them DONE.
