Yesterday, I finished my first year of teaching! Woo Hoo! (Now I just have to finish my first year of grading finals and writing evaluations. So close!) I was surprisingly sad on Friday, especially to see my seniors go. I wrote them a note, thanking them for being such a gracious and fun class, as a bumbled through my first year of teaching. I then read said note in front of the class, which was received very well. I was worried they would think that was weird, but then realized it was no weirder than any of the other things I had done that year, like make puns while lecturing and then laugh at myself.
Yesterday was also the first 100 degree day of the year, so I can't say I am sorry to be leaving next Monday. The only regret I have is that produce is getting really cheap again. Pineapples for a dollar! Mangoes for 77 cents! Apricots for 97 cents a pound! I have never even had a fresh apricot before, because they are always 3.99 a pound up north. I wonder if it is suspicious to bring 20 pounds of fruit through airport security...

Woo hoo you're so close to vacation! It is STILL cold and rainy here. I demand a reevaluation of the phrase "sunny california." Our poor students went to the Yuba for retreat and had to come back to campus because it was too cold and rainy (and they had no tents...)
