bearshortyI forgot my flash drive with the Powerpoint on it. I wrote the Exam for my law class and emailed it to myself and, for back-up, saved it on the flash drive since I didn’t want to carry the laptop with me for the three hours I was teaching. And then I put the flash drive on my nightstand. So my Global students didn’t get to see nice pictures of the Persian Empire and Alexander the Great and really cool pictures of the library of Alexandria and cartoons of the Stoics. Well, they will just have to see it on Monday, during my next class.
I graded papers while giving the exam – proctoring is nice. But, of course, I have to grade all 23 of them.
Last day of 5771. I will need to change the journal layout tomorrow. Well, just change the color. I had pink the first year, purple this year and as the New Year starts I’m thinking green. Maybe. The biggest difference for my journal in year two has definitely been meeting new online friends and writing fanfic. I still can’t believe I actually kept it up for two years.
According to the Word document where I actually type up the blog before I post it, I wrote just four pages less than last year (263 this year) – that is actually impressive, how close it was.
My parents wanted an earlier dinner and today I couldn’t just eat later since it was a New Year dinner and I am responsible for saying prayers in my house. I have my nice prayer book for it. I do like apples in honey. And I really like the next ten days, which are for reflection, culminating in the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). These ten days always feel like a new start. Other than dinner and some prayers we don’t really do anything else like go to services or anything. I will go on the Eve of Yom Kippur, which it the only time of the year I go to a religious service. I like the social and heritage aspects of religion but I’m not big on ceremony or devotion.
Maccabeats have a new song “Book of Good Life” to celebrate the season.
Shana Tova! Happy 5772!
