A lazy post tonight

I stayed out way past my bedtime last night (it was Wednesday trivia, after all). It was an easy day at school - only two periods, and each were Newspaper, so we did our gift exchange and ate and played Charades.

Their final was to turn in a portfolio of work from the semester, so they didn't actually have to take a test.

I stayed at school until 4, working on getting those graded, came home, ate dinner, and took a two-hour nap. I'll still probably go to bed at 10, though.

This is a lazy post because I'm going to put up a couple of links that you should check out.

First, for those of you who know Cary Conover, check out this interview with him. A few of his photos are up, as well as some thoughts on his days at the K-State.

Second, one of my newspaper students, Amanda, was featured on the local news last night. She is one of a handful of students whose work has been chosen by Hallmark to be made into holiday cards that will be sold next year. Proceeds will benefit Children International. She made the cards as part of her digital imaging class. The link will take you to a transcript of the story, but click on the video link to see the TV story.

Wednesday trivia didn't go so hot. Only five of us showed up, so our pool of random pop culture knowledge was quite a bit smaller than it has been lately. Plus, almost every round had R&B and rap questions. Not my forté.

I work for Children International, and I have been very involved with the contest that Amanda won. She, like all of the students who competed, put a lot of thought into their designs. You should be very proud of Amanda. She was really amazed at how her work could help a teen just like her who lives in dire poverty!
