Nov. 30th, 2010 10:16 pmHappy Birthday, Papa!
I was dreaming that I was grading when my alarm clock woke me up since I had to grade more before my class. I was vaguely disappointed that I had another paper to grade.
Today was an easy class since it was really collect papers and give papers back and evaluations day. I did do a mini geography lesson since my students are reading an essay by Naipaul and he mentions lots of countries. I had a few students who didn’t know where England was; not even what continent it was on. Sigh.
In the afternoon, Mama and I stopped by the russian food store to get bread and a poppy seed cake-type thing for my dad for his birthday. I do love that store. I got myself smoked cheese. I adore smoked cheese.
Papa’s coworkers bought him cake and we had that after a semi-festive dinner. Mama made olivie salad – which is traditional for any festive table and is my favorite thing ever. It was nice.

I tried watching “Hidalgo” and was not really in the mood for it; it was too much a boy angst movie. I’m just sending my Netflix movies back unwatched. They’ve been sitting on my shelf to long. I did watch the latest “Fame” movie online instead. It was fine. The original was much better.
