As I’ve graded the blogs of my advisees. I find they have great vision and value honesty, integrity, ethical behavior, and innovation, while keeping perspective that their vision will evolve more as they grown and learn through college. They are thoughtful and inspiring, just as expected. Reading 150 blogs and responding has taken some time, but it’s well worth it when I get to see all the aspirations of my students written in their own words.
It’s been a quiet Thursday and Friday around here. I think many folks are away at conferences, and lots of professors have left by this time on a Friday. I plan to stay until 6 as I need to finish up a handful of blogs and send those grades off to their professors. It looks like I’ll be going off to visit Xavier University in Cincinnati later this month, which will be very cool. I’ll get to see the model program we are working to base our full fledged Passport system on by next Fall. Very cool, I’ve never been to Cincinnati, though I was once offered a job there, I just couldn’t see myself living anywhere but New Orleans.
Tonight, no plans. At least, none yet. Maybe that’ll change, or maybe I’ll just retreat to mi casa with the dogs and watch a movie. Might even pick up a steak… and make myself a cocktail. Who knows? It’s been a good week though. I attribute that to it having been an excellent weekend. More of the same, please.
