Bullet Update

• Not been around much - needed to grade my students first paper. Unfortunately, I will also have to grade a boatload of re-writes as many of them are a bit surprised about how low their grades were. It's not that they are bad writers - it's that they tend to write more as they did in high school - report facts, but not really analyze. For example, in one paragraph, they address three different barriers to entry women experience in national political races. But, it really should take them three paragraphs to cover this information.

• Going to the Pulmonologist today to see why this pneumonia is hanging on.

• Get to go to Target as the Pulmonologist is in the same town.

• Dropped my keys down the elevator shaft at work on the way home yesterday. Had to wait until this AM to pick them up as the building attendant had already left for the day. Sarah was a bit concerned that I would never get them back. She will be so happy to know they are back home again.
