can't sleep

I couldn't sleep last night because I was too excited thinking about:

--John is coming on Saturday!
--Margaret and Scott are coming on Sunday! (right?)
--Melanie is coming on Tuesday!
--Gabe is coming on Wednesday or Thursday!
--Allison is coming some time!

I can't wait to see everyone!

Even though I'm not finished grading final portfolios, I went and did a little shopping today for some stuff for the wedding (since we're supposed to be getting an ice storm tomorrow). I ventured into Hobby Lobby--oh, what a mistake. The artificial and dried flowers gave me a scratchy throat, and the oozing Christmas music over the loudspeakers made me want to vomit. Hobby Lobby is only fun if you are there with someone else and can make fun of all the old ladies wearing reindeer and snowman sweaters. If you're there by yourself, it is truly a dismal experience.

I need to go to bed. I have a meeting early tomorrow morning with my plagiarizing student. This student sounds upset, so I'm really nervous about this meeting.

stay strong! Don't let a sobbing student sway your resolve! He/she can't have not known that it's wrong to copy/paste papers from the internet.

yep, we'll be there Sunday!

Friday night, insha'allah, I will be home! See you in church??

Sunday, indeed. Margaret has predicted that I will no longer love the prairies as much as I did.
We'll see . . .
