Meanderings

- Day off from work for Presidents' Day. This explains why I didn't seem to have my usual spring in my step working out at the YMCA. I ran about the same mileage, and I burned roughly the same number of kilocalories, but I seemed to tire a bit faster today. Guess that's the reason.

- This week, and the next couple of weeks, will be crazy. We're about to enter the "mean season" of testing - ITBS, MAP, and the writing portion of PASS. But we have to devote at least two periods of this week in preparation for PASS. Whatever. Two less days to prepare for.

- My instructional coach had a nasty car accident last week. It resulted in several broken ribs, one of which punctured his lung. But they got it re-inflated, and he actually came home early sometime before Friday. Prayers for him and his family are much appreciated.

- Still awaiting my final ADEPT evaluation, and the summative conference that will soon follow.

- The schizophrenia that has permeated Clemson's football team has officially caught up to the basketball team. We follow up a decent win against Boston College with a real stinker against the Hoos of Virginia, the second-worst team in the ACC. Now we return home to face a suddenly red hot Maryland team ready for revenge against the squad that single-handedly wrecked its Senior Night last year. Huh boy.
