Today is the last day of classes. I will collect portfolios in my
comp classes and have a review session for the Basic final exam (which
is Wednesday). The students, of course, have finals for the rest of the
week, but my primary focus will be grading portfolios! I cannot
express how happy I am to have survived this semester. 
The weekend was very good. Eric and I spent a lot of quality time
together because he’s going to be gone all this week to CA for a
business trip. We watched tv and a movie on Friday night.
We worked around the house on Saturday. I did laundry so Eric
would have clothes to wear! We refilled the back patio with sand
so the bricks stay put, and Eric did a number of other little jobs
around the house. Then we went for a short hike and then went out
to dinner (Wendy’s) and did some shopping on Saturday night.
Sunday we had church, of course. Then Eric went in to work for a
bit because one of the Mythbusters (a Discovery Channel show) was
touring Battelle and he wanted to meet him. Then we hung out
while I finished laundry and ironed his clothes. Then we packed
his stuff and got ready for small group which was a good time…we’re
all getting really tired, so we were pretty slap-happy all night long
(even during prayer!). Then ran to the bank so Eric had cash with
him, final preparations, then bed.
This morning we left the house at 7:00 and I drove Eric to the airport
before heading all the way back out of the city to make it to CU. But I
still made it about my normal time. Eric’s flight leaves shortly
after 9:00, I think. He’ll have a conference on Tuesday-Thursday,
and then he and a guy from work are going to spend a day hiking in
Joshua Tree National Park. Then they’ll fly home on Saturday.
I’ll pick him up at 4:00 on Saturday. Needless to say, it’s going
to be a pretty long week for me…well, maybe I’ll get most of my
grading done early!
