Nov. 30th, 2011 11:00 pmHappy Birthday, Papa!
He worked from home today so I was able to pull his ears (a Russian thing) and hear how he liked his presents. I got him a non-fiction book he wanted, a radio with headphone and the first Discworld book (which I plan to steal...borrow…after Christmas).
I did my last lecture for Global class on European expansion and it was my last lecture of the semester. Yay. Now I just have to do gazillion paper grading.
Some kids can’t present their work at all. My history of law class today was a little weird. Some students did a great Powerpoint about their research and some just stood there and read and weren’t making it exciting.
After I got home, we had a birthday dinner for Papa, just the three of us. Mama made olivier salad – the tastiest thing ever and a regular salad too. And we had a poppy seed cake Papa bought in the Russian store – it was his favorite.
