Yup, even this.

Right now, the words keep ringing in my head... "This too shall pass". I'm not even sure why. It's not a particularly bad day, it's not a particularly good day either. I guess it's because my student worker who is also in one of my classes got switched to my other class and she's upset about it because all her friends are in the class she's being switched from. So I was trying to put a positive light on it but she was having none of it. So my last resort was to tell her that "This too shall pass". Which indeed is true. A year from now she'll probably be in another state and have many other things to worry about and probably won't even remember this.

I'm feeling a little less overwhelmed. Really it just depends on which day you ask me. But the Senior Retreat went really well and I felt like I bonded with a lot of the students. So other than the constant rain for two days and the general frigidness, it was good. And now I can say I camped through hurricane Ernesto. (It had calmed down quite a bit by the time it got to us, but still.)

We're cooking for the first time in class today. Bruschetta. Thought I'd start with something easy. We'll see if it actually is easy or not. In about two hours the fun begins.
