¡¡¡¡¡Esta nevando!!!

I almost tripped over myself this morning after opening the blinds to see snow falling rapidly down to meet a white blanket on the ground (hey that kinda rhymes!). Yesterday it was in the mid-60s, yesterday it was a bright sunshiny day, albeit it a bit chilly, and now it's snowing!!!! These are the best kind of snows....when you have no clue they are coming. Maybe I could take my Spanish classes outside to play!!

Blunder of the day (written Nov. 27)

I just got back from running over to the mail room to stop a disaster. Well, I guess it's not a disaster but one wouldn't necessarily look to fondly on putting a test in a student's mailbox before the test has been graded, let alone even taken. oops! This is a student who missed a whole week of class and of course didn't try to catch up over the week long Thanksgiving break. She is so far behind I don't even know where to start. But anyway, I didn't hand out the graded test to the other students during class so I decided to put it in their mailboxes. The blank test with the student's name on it happened to be in the bunch. whoops!

As soon as I realized my mistake, which took place an hour ago, I ran over to the mailroom. I passed through the day-student lounge and guess who was sitting there on the couch??!! Yup, that very same girl and she had the test sitting right next to her. Feeling a bit like a fool, I kindly asked to have it back. Although she said she hadn't even looked at it, I could feel her sadness floating in the air as I took the top secret info from her hands. I'll be sure not to make that mistake again.
