First day of classes went pretty well, except that I've got way too many students. In one of the classes, people have to stand in the back of the room because there aren't enough places to sit. I'm going to have to see if I can work something out. I thought it might get better after a few students dropped (there are always a few drops in the first few days, when students realize that they're not really prepared for the class), but it looks like there's a waiting list, because as soon as a student drops, another one gets added. Also, this classroom is in a building that's behind some construction, and you've got to walk an extra two blocks or so to get there, because the only entrance that's not blocked is one that's only accessible from off-campus.

Ugh, someone please remind me, because I can't brain right now: other than drinking lots of water (I've added lime juice for electrolytes), what will help with a headache brought on by lots of crying?

Warm compress over your eyes?

I would have suggested cool compress. I'm so sorry, Jilli.

Cool compress and some ibuprofen, Jilli.

Oh Jilli, I'm so sorry.

I am sorry about Trinian, Jilli. My weird headache remedy is putting BenGay on my face.

Oh and Kat, I wanted to say how cool that they gave you the last word. You rock!

Is it really too much to ask that "prayer meeting" and "pep rally" be two separate events? [link]

Jilli, sometimes putting an icepack (or frozen veggies) on my head helps with that.
