Up-Ness

[mlerules]

Seems like I usually write when bummed. Must remember to appreciate the non-horrid things as well. Yesterday was a good day. Not a great one, but a good one. They're rare enough (at school) they deserve remark and celebration...'cept I don't wanna jinx nuttin' so I won't dwell. Still, it seems far more possible to survive the next 6 weeks acceptably well (to pass the class - mine, not theirs, some of these students will be retained) now than it did last week.
