I had to get up at 6am so Papa could drive me to work and I didn't sleep too well. So by the end of the day I was just exhausted. We stopped by Dunken Donuts for some breakfast and I went to the building I worked on last semester to do copying and also to say hello to many coworkers. Since I was too early for the offices to open I sat on the couch on the second floor, first reading with breakfast and then grading Writing Samples from one of my classes. I managed to get a lot done and came up with few extra handouts like "List of Forbidden Words" (like 'always', 'you' 'throughout time" "things" - students love to use those in essays).

Then after 11 I made my way to the Student Center to grab some lunch and catch the bus to my new building. It was so very cold, I'm thankful for my fuzzy warm furry coat.

In class, we talked about active reading and various class expectations. Next week the proper work starts with the discussion of the first reading. I really like the class with half of my "Basic Comp" students. I fell I joke a little more there.

Papa picked me up at 5 and drove me back to my apartment - finally. Bear came home from his parents' too (their house is closer to his work, and during snow days he needs to shovel all the snow on their property). But I was too tired for much after dinner. Leftovers are wonderful. I went to sleep early.

It was nice to be home today and catch up on my sleep. I even had a nap in the afternoon. I don't have to go in to work on Fridays this semester. I should be doing some work for school but I just know that Fridays will be a day to relax before working through the weekend.

I spent more of the day reading. And napping. And watching the episode of "Community" twice.
