One of my students tells me as they hand over the exam. At least they warned me. It wasn't good but far from the worst. For the first time ever I had a student get ONE question right out of 81 of them. I don't know how you can possibly do this badly especially when two questions was to identify the heart and lungs in a chest cavity. I had a few of them begging me to grade it right. now. (and I did) but I had to tell them sorry dudes but last day to drop was last week.

Today was Giving Tuesday. I tried to use the points off one of my credit cards BUT the min. donation was 25$ which was 2500 points. Yeah so 100 points per dollar? thanks but no. (I don't even have that many points). I did donate to other places. Betty sent this one to me adopt an elder (Navajo) While I can't afford to adopt anyone but I can donate other things.

And while my students were suffering I was writing and this happened

I will keep going and giving you snippets until Nov. runs out. THANK YOU for all your cheerleading and to everyone who commented on the snippets thank you it means a lot.

Snippet - Dan stepped out of the shower, the events of the last few days on a non stop loop in his head. Cats and dead girls, poser conjurers and somewhere a real one. He kept waiting for the shoe to drop. Another demon or maybe what he’d been warned about Howell would finally happen. So far Howell had not been anything like he’d been warned. He hoped that continued, that the gossip would be proved wrong. The nagging doubts that it would come to fruition kept up at him.

Drying off, Dan realized that in his distracted state he had forgotten to put his keys in his shower bucket. “Well damn.” He’d been rushing and had only worn his towel down the hall because he had wanted to get ready for the dance.

When he walked into the hall, he glanced at the clock. He had an hour before Adam would be back to let him in. Going down to the RA meant walking way too close to the front door. At least the towel covered up half the scars on his gut. Sighing he hurried down to Howell’s room and knocked.

Howell’s eyebrows shot up when he opened the door. Dan counted it a bonus there was no cloud of marijuana billowing out. “Do I want to know?”

“I locked myself out of my room. Can I hide in here until Adam comes back?”
