This week is nearing the end of the semester in Chicago. The official last day is the 28th of January, but I will giving my final exams tomorrow so that I have time to grade them and prepare report cards. I think there will be less F's than I anticipated earlier in the year. Hallelujah.
I have been having computer problems - starting before Christmas break and contiuing since then, my school-issed HP tablet has been periodically shutting down. It is scary, because then when I try to restart it, there is a fatal error message regarding the hard drive and nothing will boot up. In each case, it has been solvable. So far. I need to start backing up my files more frequently.
Rachel is in the midst of finals as well, but tomorrow her day will be greatly altered by a visit from Hu Jintao. Her school is the home of the Confucious Institute, a Chinese-government sponsored entity that promotes Chinese language and culture in the US. So, he will take a tour of the school during his brief stopover in Chicago. Naturally the mayor, school board, media, etc. will be there in force. Rachel said the school will be on lock-down during that time. Nobody in the halls; students and teachers cannot leave their rooms. So it seems she will not be able to meet Hu.
A post on Rachel's birthday to come.
