sam_gamgeeRain, rain go away and come again another day. It's been raining for the past two days. I know it's good, but I want it to stop.
And, as usual, I'm packing at the last minute. The laundry is done, it just needs to get folded and put in the bag. (Which won't take long at all.)
This weekend's going to be so much fun!

And I have to say, the prospective student tours that come through are cute. The kids and parents are, on average, pretty excited about the whole process and it's fun.
I will admit, though, I giggle every time I hear them try to pronounce the name of the other student center when asking for directions. It's Trabant and it's pronounced Trah-bant. Normally, if someone screws it up, it's Tray-bant. And usually we'll pronounce it correctly when we're giving them directions.
Today I had someone say "Trey-pagan". Which, I have no idea where she got that from, because it's not like she could have mashed the name up with another building close by. Especially since the other buildings have names like Smith, Purnell, Kirkbride.
