Over the Routine




Life in the village is quickly getting into Winter mode. As such, power is getting a little scarce and we're starting to go on to wood heat. Classes do continue however and I'm finding myself maxed out by Friday keeping assignments, aides and students ready for the day. It would be nice to handle 9 kids for one class but with the different subjects it boils out to 30 different levels for six subjects.

That's my class minus one who was downlake for a cousin's wedding. I have to say that they are quite the bunch; I've already walked into my office with close to 50 coffee mugs on my desk and throughout the classroom as a friendly morning prank.

The World History class just finished their timeline which is pictured alongside the Biology experiment involving getting water poured from glass to glass for four stories (demonstrating that plant cells are truly wonderous).

I had an apartment warming party last night and somehow 27 people molded themselves into my living room and bedroom. Folks weren't too impressed with my trapping stories.

Snow has appeared on the nearby mountains and with the turning of the trees it's quite a sight. It's only a matter of time now before the expected 400" or more inches should fall upon us.
