Lazy Saturday

I've been on the go for three of the last five weekends, so it's been nice to sit on my couch and watch football all day (except for the fleeting feelings of guilt that slip in and out for being a bum). I did go to the grocery store this morning, so I it hasn't been a completely unproductive day.

It's been a good day to enjoy college football: Texas-Oklahoma was a defensive battle, Notre Dame-Southern Cal has remained close, Ohio St. got upset by Purdue, Iowa stayed undefeated, Arkansas is giving Florida all they can, especially defensively, and Alabama-South Carolina is still to come. I hope the Tide can play strong in front of a home crowd tonight; they've been on the road two straight weeks and Bama fans are ready to see their great team do well in T-town.

Things are going pretty well here in Harrisonburg. I just passed the halfway point of the semester and need to grade my students' Academic Writing midterm exams this weekend to finish up their midterm grades. It's been overcast this whole week, so I haven't been able to fully enjoy the changing colors of the leaves since the sun's been hidden. Hopefully it will peak out a bit next week so I can get some pictures and maybe even get up to Shenandoah National Park again.
