.... busy mornings now seem to start up at 7 am in the labs. I allow my students to just drop in early to get some one on one guidance to set them in the right direction. Sara and I seriously need roller blades some days.... today especially I ingested way too many lovely colored gummy bears and a super-sized coffee. I am playing to a packed house and trying to get everyone started on their next project so I can slip out for an interview with marketing. My wonderful boss wants them to do a story on me.... and while I understand that it is a great thing to showcase the triumphs of the recent past and to share that with others, the other part wants to find anonymity. I often joke that I was born petite, quiet and demure.... somehow my 5'10 stature,and an outrageously outgoing personality makes this more than just an inside joke.... lol.
Today was a wonderful day!!! It feels great to be alive and to be amongst the young men and women that I have the privilege of teaching each day. Everyone should be so lucky to absolutely love what they do and to look forward to each and every day. We never know how long we will grace this earth..... seizing each moment and breathing it all in at the moment it happens and remembering how it felt days or years later means you are truly living.
Sara had to pace behind me as I ran off to the test room and realized that I missed the classroom 3 times before I found myself breezing through the door of the right room.... flushed and three minutes late. There they all were sitting quietly at their desks, knapsacks placed carefully at the front of the classroom as they had been instructed to do the day before.... impressed was a word I would use many times then and for the rest of the day. Thank you to each and every one of those students for being amazing!!! Thanks to Sara for following me and supporting me in the classroom and for managing to keep up in the hallway!!!
Thanks to everyone for their kind words and wonderful laughter!!!
