For the last couple weeks I’ve had a stiff neck. Usually it is worst when I wake up, and slowly gets better during the day. I guess this points to bad sleeping posture, but nothing much has changed as far as pillows and blankets go. At work I try to stretch my neck but wearing collared shirts makes it a little tough to get full extension. I guess this is just what it’s like getting old. Ick.
I’m looking at the last three weeks of classes for my current students. We’ve got lots of stuff to do to wrap up the course, and I’m trying to spend some time reviewing what they’ve done in the past as well as some exit interviews to try to measure their progress. Some of my students I’m sure have made a lot of progress, while some seem to be exactly where we started. The most improvement was from the students that studied at home, while the least progress was from students that just came to class and answered my questions. Something to think about for the next round of students in April.
We did spring cleaning the other day, and in a bid to keep the number of trash bags to a minimum we’ve been doing it room by room. Now the bedroom is cleaned out, but I’ve got a lot of heavy trash bags to take with me when I leave to work. I can’t believe we had so much crap in our closet! I better get going if I’m to gather all these bags and hit the road. More tomorrow….
