That Durn Old Saddle...

Ok, so it's been almost a week since my last post, and one would think enough has happened in that time to write about. Actually, except for school starting, and the whole process that entails, it's been quiet enough to bore a hole through an oak.

I suppose it might be worth reading if I talked a bit about my classes. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, my first class, Greek, starts at 10:20. Because it's a thrice-a-week class, it's only 55 minutes. After that, on Monday and Wednesday, my next class, Victorian/Edwardian Britain, starts at 12:40. Later, Atlantic World History starts at 5:30. On Tuesday and Thursday, the only class I have is Colonial American History at 9:40. Because these last three classes are only twice-a-week, they are each an hour and a half.

I've got a good feeling about this semester. There are breaks between each class that will come in handy for studying and getting work done. The teachers are good, too. I've had two before, and the other two aren't bad.

Other than that, the only thing I can think of to write about is Lanelle's Mouse.
She's had one in her room for weeks, and it's been keeping her awake at nights, so Doug set some mousetraps. I hate those kinds of traps. They rely on strangulation, which is slow. The much more humane thing to do is poison, since the rodent simply goes to sleep and never wakes up. The problem with this is that by then, the mouse has walked off somewhere to sleep, and after it dies, begins decaying in a hard to reach place, much less easy to clean. In any case, however the mouse died, it died. The problem is that the trap was set in plain sight, and when the trap went off, Lanelle was able to see the whole thing. She was understandably reduced to tears, and now there's another mouse in her room. I pray this one is resolved better.

I'm back to teaching the kids TKD now, too. Same old, same old. Handbells have started back up again. There's an SCA event on Saturday I'm teaching at. Sounds like everything's picking back up again.
