Two Hour Late Start

These days are never very productive. RHS had a late start today to offfer up professional development to staff - the topic du jour was Advisor/Advisee programs. I've officially been in education too long because after hearing both presentations, I thought to myself, good god, we did this years ago! Why are we recreating the wheel. Some conversations with my colleagues did remind that not everyone is on the same page however, and change comes slow with large, heterogenous organizations.

The kids are always a little more rambunctious on days like today too. Thank goodness that Tuesdays are designated 'work days' in History and the seniors are working on the Economics Problems projects in the library.

Highlight of the day: Seeing a cartoon cow with a caption that read: "My agenda - get up, eat, go the beach, drink" taped to my computer. Susan, who is presently in Mexico, must have paid a student well to break into my room to send me such sentiments from afar. I'll get her back.
