Astoria the Wild Turkey drinks some water this evening in The Battery. Cold, dry weather increases her need for water. She gets all the water she wants. 🦃 ❤️ 💦

I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing about the drunk raccoon, but the Virginia Distillery Co. posted this in response, and it's amusing (at least to me)

20min into an hour long math test and one of my 8th graders has pretty much given up already. Poor kid.

So I took the JLPT N1 test for like the nth time on Sunday. Half of me thinks I failed by a single point again like last year, half thinks I did well. The practice test I did on Saturday puts me at a passing mark, so who knows what my score will be this time. I have to wait until the end of January.

So we RMA'd some memory we bought in 2023 that suddenly stopped working and actually managed to get free replacements! Actually surprised but relieved that I don't have to spend more money.

My babies who graduated high school 2 years ago (by far one of my favorite groups of kids in my 13 years at this school) just requested a video message from me for their 20th birthday coming-of-age celebration 🥹 I'm the only foreign teacher out of the 4 of us who taught them to be asked 🥹

A good quarter of the school is out due to the flu. The entire 7th grade, and a homeroom each of 8th, 9th, and 11th grades are closed and told to stay home until Thursday at the earliest.
I'm debating if I should double mask for my two classes today....
