Yes, it is 4 pm and I am trying to finish a take-home exam to prepare for another take-home exam. I hate take-home exams. I don't want to take any exams into my home. Homes should be free of it.

We’re in our 39th week, and today we had another first-time participant in our post-earthquake Zoom writing group. Please contact me if you or students/colleagues you know might benefit from a structured, communal writing environment for those directly or indirectly affected.
