To Do

To Do (Jerz's Literacy Weblog)
5: The number of proposals I've sent off in the last 24 hours. (Well, one I had drafted weeks ago, and another consisted of me answering the phone and saying "Yes," but still.... )

Feels like a pretty good day.

To do:
  • Share with colleagues draft of revised senior portfolio for English majors (lit, creative writing, journalism) (10 May)
  • Submit draft to administration (10 May)
  • My own annual report (whew!)
  • Additional work on major interactive-fiction article I've had to set aside due to teaching demands
  • Prepare award certificates for Setonian staff members (05 May. Still have to sign them, though. 06 May.)
  • Weird Romance (05 May.)
  • Submit grades for graduating seniors (07 May)
  • Submit grades for everyone else (15 May)
  • Say good-bye to the graduating seniors who were freshmen when I arrived at Seton Hill (12 May)
That last item won't take the most time, but it will be the hardest.

I agree, it's going to be hard to come back next semester knowing that all the seniors are gone. For some reason, most of the friends I've made at Seton Hill are students who are graduating this year. Good luck to all of them, friend or no--I'm sure Seton Hill has prepared them well for the future, and I hope they all reach their goals as they readjust to "Life Off the Hill."

Dennis: Thanks again for the work on the proposal today. Please convey my congratulations to the graduating seniors; particularly Mike and Karissa. I was happy to hear about Karissa's new job (she'll still be blogging). You really inspired those students to creative expression through online writing. It's a testament to your pedagogy and their willingness to make positive contributions to Seton Hill and the greater community. Congrats to all the grads!
