Well. We went to campus a lot this week; not just Wayne, but I did as well. I would go home, grab some food and a picnic basket, grab a book or the laptop, and run meet him in his studio so he could keep painting in the evening. We did this several nights, and made a trip Saturday afternoon/evening as well. He has a show to put up this Friday and is trying to finish up the large painting that is in progress right now. I think he'll be done in time, but we'll see what this week holds. [I think that I'm finally feeling like I'm in a Masters program. -wayne]
The rest of our week was not too remarkable. We had adventures with fleas two days -- one to apply the flea medication on Star (which stopped her itching completely within 24 hours and then we found dead or mostly dead fleas on her for the next two days). The second adventure was requesting that our apartment management fix the problem with fleas in our apartment itself. They were quite nice to flea fog our apartment Saturday morning while we did laundry (and Star hung out in our car!). By the time the laundry was done, we still had a little bit of time to kill before airing out our apartment, so we put our feet in the hot tub and wished we had had the foresight to bring our swimsuits down.
Primary went well. I'm starting to figure out most of the kids names, but I have to be prompted on a couple of the quieter ones still. I didn't teach today, since I alternate with the other CTR-5b class. One of the kids that is supposedly "one of the two hyper-active CTR-5's" is moving at the end of the month. I'm surprisingly a little disappointed to learn this; I had just figured out that though he is the most vocal/obvious child in the class about when he is bored (by climbing under or over the seats or something of the sort), he was a good gauge about when I probably had lost the attention of the other kids as well. And even when he looks like he isn't paying attention at all because he's climbing all over the place, he knows the answers to every question you ask. Still, his mom was shocked when I told her I will miss having him in the class. :)
My dad is in town for a business trip, so we got to hang out with him tonight. Hopefully we will see more of him throughout the week. We drove up to Skyline Blvd and saw a beautiful sunset to the west, and then minutes later found a fabulous lookout point to see the city lights of the bay area to our east. What a good place to be at sunset.
