~Thursday~ I went to catch the Wolfline bus at 8:00 to meet a student in the MS in Technical Communication program at 8:30 at Reverie coffee shop on Hillsborough Street, just down the street from my office. Not two minutes after I arrived at the stop, I remembered that it was Easter Break for the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, on which a young, female student studied, what looked like, vocabulary words, using flashcards. Word on the front, definition on the back. I noticed yellow highlighting in some of the definitions when the cards were flipped. I didn’t realize they still made 3×5 … Read more
~Sunday~ I reveled in eight hours of glorious sleep. Today was a struggle of an eating day, having to count “yesterday’s 4th meal” in today’s calorie intake. No fun. Another awesome (“deaf”) Def Poetry entry! I spent a couple of hours doing taxes today. I’ve used Turbo Tax to do my taxes for years, but … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up shortly after eight, and at the NC State’s Farmers’ Market Restaurant for breakfast by 10:00. We each had their most delicious French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side of bacon with his. Back at home, I was in and out, … Read more
~Thursday~ I continue to notice house ads on the bus, and this morning four out of the five (on the city) bus were house ads—two (of the same) ads for a temporary detour coming up for the 7C route, and two (of the same ad) for an upcoming public hearing about proposed fare policy changes. … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I counted 9 ads above the seats on one side of the bus. Three of them were “house ads”: one about Wolfline’s Holiday/Break Schedule, one about the “Wolfprowl” bus, and the other about NC State Transportation’s Go Pass program. There weren’t too many students … Read more
~Sunday~ We were up and at ’em bright and early this morning, checking out at 7:30, stopping for a quick gas fill-up, and checking in for our flights. On the New Orleans-to-Atlanta leg, there were monitors on the backs of each seat and many members of the group played electronic trivia against each other. We … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus today on which I observed a young man about whom I might invoke one of my father’s favorite sayings about, “He reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger.” He was kind of a geeky kid, and he had a huge stack of papers, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I used one of the ten or so free parking passes that users of public transportation are allowed each year by the university, as I had an errand to run during lunch. My work day started off with a 9:00-10:00 meeting, which although is not my favorite way to start the day, this one … Read more
~Saturday~ I completed a survey for a student who is doing her capstone class in the same program I graduated from in December of 2007—the Master of Science in Technical Communication program at NC State. As part of that, I had to update my resume to send to her. Interesting exercise. Glad to have done … Read more
