Just for the record

My mother sent out all of her cards this morning after a marathon week of working on all 70 of them.  She is very happy and satisfied.  I've written 4 cards.  I feel like those students of mine who are procrastinating with their projects.  Yet, there is one important difference.  When your job is to write about your work during a semester, it is the one and only necessary means to the end (your good grade and entry into our teaching profession); however, Christmas is not measured by cards or decorations and our participation is not dependent on completion of any decorating, baking, or writing task.  Thank goodness because I do have a LOT more reading to do for those students who have NOT been procrastinating!

Those are case studies the elf is reading - just in case you were wondering!
