Exam week looked something like this:

Surprisingly, the year yielded no fodder for the funny folder.

Oh well, there’s always next year.

After grading a seemingly endless pile of papers, I needed a break.

I braved the unseasonable heat and took a few pictures at my in-laws’ house:

I also worked on my flame technique by lighting matches in the bathroom:

The last day of school was a grab bag of sorts.

I took pictures of the school “mascot” sculpture and the last pot of coffee

It was also a day for several student gifts, like this gift card to Staples, with which I purchased a pencil sharpener for my black pencils – the ones with which I’m writing The Book. I also received a $15 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card, but I neglected to take a picture before writing this post.

Then, it was time for Graduation:

The weekend began a month-long line of graduation parties.

In the South, that means barbecue and cheerwine.

It also meant I didn’t have to wear dress slacks and shirts.

Hello summertime tees!
