What a wild week--ice, snow, thunder, deluges of rain, sun and wild winds. And that was just the school events :) The weather is mirroring our attitudes or is shaping them. The Russians have arrived (we've a contingent of students/teachers visiting us for two weeks from Novosibirsk, Siberia--more about this later) and we're winding up third quarter--always the toughest few weeks of school.
So it was a treat to walk into my favorite coffee/tea shop. When I ordered a lemongrass tisane, the proprietor was so distressed that they were out, he insisted that I take these two other kinds (for free) to sample. I'm to report back to him this weekend what I thought of these new flavors. V. kind and totally unnecessary as I was quite happy with my cinnamon/cardamom choice.
And in rather hysterical news, I've been invited to be part of the Admissions Committee. Should be a lively and interesting experience. Stay tuned...

"But, Ms. Dunston, we haven't finished telling you --"
"I said NO. Next student."
