This week was actually not too busy. Which means I could have posted sooner but I didn't. I blame it on life. Speaking of life and such, this week/weekend we had a conference called the G92 Immigration Conference. I only went to one session, Friday night, and then a movie afterwards called A Better Life. Immigration is one of those topics that I find difficult to be decisive about. There are so many gray areas.

The day of the Career Fair, we had students coming in and out all day, and of course, the day we need it most, our copier ran out of ink and we couldn't copy their resumes onto nice paper; instead, we had to put the paper into the printer, have them log onto a computer, and print it that way instead. Gotta love those...
