"Still windy and cool. Foggy most of the day, with only occasional blue holes, but it has cleared late this afternoon. We should cross the border back into the U.S. about 3 a.m. and arrive off Catalina about 8 a.m. for a day-and-a-half of various cadet training exercises. Life will go on as normal for the rest of us.
"Gave my oceanography final this morning. My Bataan Death March speech after the second midterm apparently had an affect on one of the two girls who were my main targets. She pulled together a much improved performance and ended up with a C. But the other was pretty much unchanged. I gave her a 'gentleman's D,' although she really should have failed. But I'm anticipating she'll fail astronomy, coming up right after dinner.
"Stacy is giving a slide show tonight about her anthropological field work with a mostly hunter-gatherer tribe in the jungles of Bolivia. She had scheduled it for 7, but we'll be in the midst of the astronomy final. I asked her to reschedule for 8. I haven't yet seen today's Bear's Tale (usually comes out right before dinner) to see if she did, but I hope so. I've heard various tales over dinner, but it would be nice to get a coherent presentation with pictures.
"Not much other news. Spent the afternoon grading and finishing the book review I'm writing. Should be able to get back to 2e revisions tomorrow. Off to dinner now, so that I'll be well fed for the astronomy exam."
