MMM...Coffee...

'Cause it's Sunday morning, and breakfast is on the way. Got all Yup'ik and stayed up until 1:00 AM after a good maqiq at Joe's. Very pleasant company and conversation. We all agreed that it was a good steam. A good shave after, during clean-up time. It is the best shave that I get every week.

The next few days will be busy, but we are almost done for the holidays...I want to focus on a student who will be coming in today to begin taking the test that will help to pass his writing class. I also need to get my reading class organized for next semester. And, of course, there are always grades...some of them are done, but I am waiting for some kids that are still putting in some work at the end...

We are having a little warm spell. It is 32 degrees, which contrasts favorably with the -16 from Friday night. There is some loose talk about a trip to Bethel, but it could get soggy. Time for more waterskipping???

Happy holiday times-church is a must for this evening.

The funniest question going around is whether we are going to do lesson planning for classes this week. Monday morning is given over entirely to an activity called Christmas around the world. We then have classes in the afternoon. Tuesday morning will be a study in contrasts, with some kids playing catchup, and some playing goof-off. It is a puzzlement...we are out at noon, or thereabouts. Then people will start heading for the airport in Bethel. I am not leaving until Wednesday, which gives me a little more flexibility...
