Two Years!

Can you believe it? It has been two years in the blogosphere!

The second anniversary snuck up on me. It has been Spring Break here in Maryland; the kids have been home for 10 days, good for them, good for family activities. Bad for writing on the manuscript, but everything has its season.

I spent most of today filing plagiarism sanctions on student papers. It was the first time in about six months since this happened in one of my classes. I really don’t enjoy these things at all. Each sanction takes about an hour and a half to put together, then, you have to deal with the student responses.

One student told me today that he

‘really didn’t want to flank my class. He’d never flanked anything before in his life.’

Gah.

I’ll be back in my regular writing routine tomorrow. I’ve missed Emmett, and the research, and writing.

It has been a great two years with the blog, so far! I can’t wait to see what this next year will bring!
