And the total is...

So...total count for the week: 2 students who didn't know what a $1 Susan B. Anthony coin was. The 2nd one looked at me and said "um, you know this is only 50 cents, right?" Ouch...failure.

I actually found it interesting that the coin is just about as old as I am - pretty neat.

Not sure what it is about $1 coins, but I like them. As I've traveled around Europe, I've enjoyed being able to use $1 and $2 coins...seems like they're just easier to pay for things. Wish that the US would figure that out.

my day so far

Anyone wanna come work for me so I can take two weeks off and go on a vacation?

Here's how my day has gone so far:

1. Shaver broke - finally figured out how to turn it off
2. Cleaned out back build area (and thankfully had help to do it)
3. One staff member out today.
4. A student working at the Aztec Market asked me whether the $1 Susan B Anthony coin I handed her for my drink was real money. Had to explain that it was.
5. Realized that I don't have my textbook for class tonight.

(sigh) Here we go.

Friday already?

I'm a bit in shock that the end of the first week of school is already here - was pretty hectic overall.

This picture shows the chaos of what happens when a 500-seat classroom gets done and another is trying to start:
