Quote for the Day 12/18/07b
Student lament on the day written reports for the month are due:
Arlyn (sitting in front of a computer, running his fingers through his curly hair): Does anyone know of a good thesis?
He got something handed in. It's still sitting in the pile of papers I'm trying to gather the courage to start grading tonight.
***********************
Jewel (with Euni's help, struggling to get a piece of wallpaper stuck to the church nursery wall just right, and trying to hang on to hope that it will turn out alright): Euni and I have been through so much together. . . .
Is there anyone out there who has ever tried to teach nine girls at once how to do wallpapering--in forty minutes on a school day, in a small room adjacent to the room where everyone else in the school is busy studying? They're doing the cutting and wetting of the wallpaper on tables set up at the edge of the learning center, and I'm trying to shush the gasps and giggles that keep erupting, so as not to disturb the studious ones. But at the end of the class period the wall is two-thirds covered with flowery roses, and everything is nicely matched and trimmed, and waiting for me to finish hanging the last two pieces tomorrow while everyone else frantically tries to meet the deadlines before Christmas break.
I'm happy to report that all the good relationships are still intact.
