It was the last day of class for me. And a hectic day, at that. We wrapped it up with broadcast writing. I showed the 4,353 slide of the semester and asked the class to write the 129 story of the semester. That’s good for them, the writing part. I have to grade them all, which will be the next two weeks of life, I’m sure.
Visited the library today. Had two nice phone calls and then some recruiting calls and did a little bit of the grading and so on. Managed to have both lunch and dinner, which is sometimes a special trick. I’ll probably be up until the wee hours.
Also, two of our Christmas trees are now decorated. One is the large, fresh cut traditional variety. We display two miniature trees, too. One of them is purely a joke, the Auburn tree:
It features lights and helmets and the Aubie. My grandmother, who has a way with arts and crafts, made the tree. I found the helmets years ago at a going out of business sale. A former co-worker gave me the Aubie, years ago, too.
The whole thing sits on top of the book case full of Glomeratas. It is also covered in Santas, so we have the Christmas spirit.
These are the Sunday editions of the newspapers from across the state, full of Auburn material. You can click any of the images to go to each paper’s respective site. The Birmingham News, Huntsville Times and Press-Register look the same on purpose. I assume the Montgomery Advertiser didn’t know what AMG was running when they did their own layout.
It seems Kick, Bama, Kick, is going to be the name that sticks, so the O-A News has a nice headline. The Tuscaloosa paper touches on a topic important to much of the state right now.
