Moving Deadlines

My daughter caught fever Tuesday night.  I only have one house help who is very young and, thus, I couldn't possibly leave to her care my 3 year old girl, especially that I have a 7 year old boy to attend to as well. So I missed my Wednesday and Thursday classes. This means I will have to move some deadlines again as the scheduled consultation hours of some which fall on those days will have to be moved  as well. 

Nonetheless, with all the postponements of classes - there was this KASAMA election related activity, the CSM departmental exams, field trips of my Psyche majors and my attendance to a conference in CDO and the extension of deadlines, my students surely had enough time to work on their outline and drafts.

So I hope they busied themselves during times we can't meet in class.  Time flies so fast. Before you know it, the semester has ended.

Keep writing. Keep blogging.
Keep up. Keep on.

A blog by an IITian

So this where parting may not be a sweet sorrow after all. That is if you've never grown to like blogging. However, for those of you who are thinking of continuing on with this activity as part of your outlet - you know, where you air your frustrations, release deep seated emotions or simply unwind while trying to polish your writing skills, that might be a good thing to do.

So if you planning to do that, let me acquaint you more. So what is it like to really blog? Here's one by an IITian like you. Check on Philip's Snapshots of an English Major. Nope, I didn't ask him to do this blogging and he surely did not ask me to follow him although he was once my student. I chanced upon him and thought of sharing it with those who are interested.

By the way, I haven't found the blogsites of  most of you. Update your settings to reflect your site or simply follow yourself so I can see your link.

Till then.

     
What Keep writing. Keep blogging.
Keep up. Keep on.
